Xavier Becerra, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, declined to name any restriction on abortion that he would support, in response to questions from senators during his confirmation hearing on Feb. 24.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) said many of his constituents have written to say Becerra has taken “the most radical positions on this very important issue of life and abortion.” He then asked Becerra to name an abortion restriction that he might support, saying, “Is there any line you would draw?”
