(TeaParty.org Exclusive) – You can search the constitution until you’re blue in the face, you won’t find the “right” to abortion anywhere. The Supreme Court got it wrong originally and the current SCOTUS was correcting that error.
Despite the fact that abortion won’t be banned anytime soon in blue states like California, New York, Massachusetts, and Washington, the left is having an all-out meltdown.
The ideas radical leftists are coming up with are just downright absurd. It’s getting to be rather comical while also being disturbing. These people are elected US representatives of the American people and they are acting completely bat-sh*t crazy. Even appointed Biden officials are getting in on the action.
During an interview Saturday with NBC News’ Kate Snow at the Aspen Ideas Health Conference, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Service Xavier Becerra suggested that his agency is considering making a move to ensure women can still access abortions with minimal financial impact.
Though he wasn’t very straightforward, he did suggest that the HHS is coming up with a plan to use taxpayer-funded transportation to women seeking abortions out-of-state.
It’s pretty unlikely that this scheme would hold up should it be challenged and end up in front of the Supreme Court. Taxpayers in states where abortion is banned should not have to fund abortion services of any kind.
Nonetheless, Snow asked Becerra what steps the Biden regime is taking “to help women” after Friday’s decision.
“Well, we’re working with centers like Planned Parenthood, we are restoring funding for Title 10, family planning services. We are working with supporters on the ground to make sure that we are providing services to women where we can,” the Secretary said.
He added, “We are looking into everything, including assisting in transportation, something that HHS doesn’t typically do.”
This caught Snow’s attention. “Can you do that legally?” she asked.
Becerra smiled and said, “Talk to me later,” causing the audience to laugh.
Snow said, “That’s a big question, right?”
“I always tell my team at HHS, ‘If you’ve done your homework, then we have no right to go mild. And so, we’re going to be aggressive and go all the way.
“I would tell you if … you’re recording so I won’t tell you,” he added, smiling again, which drew more laughter from the crowd.
“This is all on the record, Mr. Secretary.” Snow tells him.
“We are looking at every option and among those is transportation.”
Snow asks him to repeat his last remark.
“We are looking at every option and among those is transportation.”
Snow clarifies, “Transporting women to other states.”

Becerra has obviously done his “homework” and knows that using taxpayer funds to pay for abortion-related expenses would violate the Hyde Amendment which prohibits the “use of federal funds for any health benefits coverage that includes abortion.” Exceptions to this law include rape, incest or if an abortion is required to protect the mother’s life.
Despite the fact that it would be in violation of federal law, that doesn’t seem to matter to the Biden regime and will likely not let a little detail like that stand in their way.
