HERE ARE REASONS 11 TO 16 WHY WE OPPOSED BECERRA:`

 

11) Few Attorneys General in the U.S. fought more ferociously to deny the Little Sisters of the Poor their religious rights than Becerra. The nuns objected to being forced to pay for abortion-inducing drugs, contraception and sterilization in their Healthcare Plan. At every stage, Becerra hounded them. He even filed lawsuits against the Trump administration for shielding the nuns from HHS mandate passed under the Obama administration.

 

12) Should a baker be forced against his will to make a wedding cake for two men planning to marry? The owner did not object to selling his products to gay men. What he found objectionable, on religious grounds, was being ordered to inscribe a wedding for two homosexuals:to do so would force him to affirm their status. Becerra said too bad for him - his religious should be overridden. This explains why he filed an amicus brief on the part of the gay men. But once again he lost. 

 

13) Practicing Catholics, among others do not believe that people of the same sex should be adoptive parents. Anyone is free to disagree, but respect for the diversity that Catholicism affords suggest that Catholic foster care agencies should be entitled to practice what they preach. Becerra disagrees. He is so weeded to the LGBT agenda that as Calif. Attorney General he even supported a law to deny California  public agencies, public university and boards the right to fund work-related trips to states that respect the religious liberty interests of Foster Care Agencies.

 

14) In Jan, 2017, at his confirmation hearings as Calif. Attorney General, Becerra stunned lawyers when he said that it was one thing to respect the religious rights of individuals, quite another to extend these rights to organization. Thus he tried to marginalize houses of worship, faith-based organizations and religious non-profits. It doesn't get more absurd, or constitutionally wrongheaded than this.

 

15) The Equality Act is not law but it is strongly supported by Biden. If passed, it would be the most serious assault on religious liberty liberty ever enacted. [ Pelosi passed it. ghk ] As a congressman, Becerra was cosponsor of this bill. In the name of abortion and LBGT rights, it would not only devastate the autonomy of Catholic hospitals, it  would ensure that boys who claim to be girls could compete against biological girls in sports. It would even allow them to shower with girls. When religious liberty objections were made, Becerra dismissed them outright.

 

16) Over the past year, California Governor Gavin Newsom imposed the most draconian Covid-19 restrictions on Houses of Worship in the nation. His limitation on occupancy have been so severe as to abolish the rights of churchgoers. Becerra was delighted to enforce these restrictions.

    For all of these reasons, it would be hard to think of a more unfit person in the United States to serve as Secretary of HHS than Xavier Becerra. His position on life and religious liberty make him an outlier and should have automatically disqualified him from serving in this capacity. But Biden got his way. 

BECERRA IS NO VICTIM OF BIGOTRY

We have a one-half page on support of Becessa by Sister Carol Keehan ... Becerra is no victim of anti-Catholicism. In fact he is a master sponsor of it.

P.S.The Becerra vote to confirm was 50 to 49 U.S. Senators. It demonstrated a painful truth for all Catholic Bishops and members of the American Catholic Church. All Catholic Republican Senators voted against Becerra. All Democratic Catholic-in-name-only Senators voted YES for Becerra to get to the 50 vote. They voted to promote the Culture of Death in America and the Leftist/Marxist Agenda which our country is suffering through today.
