Pence opposes Kennedy's nomination for HHS secretary over abortion stance
Former Vice President Mike Pence has publicly opposed Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Pence criticized Kennedy's pro-abortion stance, stating it contradicts the pro-life policies of the Trump-Pence administration. Pence emphasized that Kennedy's views on abortion, including support for abortion on demand, are concerning for pro-life Americans. He described Kennedy as potentially the most pro-abortion Republican to lead HHS in modern history. President-elect Trump announced Kennedy's nomination this week, highlighting his commitment to addressing public health issues. Kennedy has previously changed his position on abortion, which has raised concerns among both conservatives and liberals.
