FILE – Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra speaks about actions the Biden administration plans to take in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, June 28, 2022, in Washington. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File) more > Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said Sunday his agency will explore “everything that is out there” to expand abortion access in the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Mr. Becerra said he is looking at making abortion medications more accessible, and whether HHS should play a role in transporting women across state lines to find an abortion where it is legal.
At the same time, the secretary said the administration is constrained by the court ’s ruling, as some Democrats prod the administration to be more aggressive in getting around state bans on abortion.
“We have to heed the word of the Supreme Court ,” Mr. Becerra told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
The administration has been cool to some Democrats’ ideas, such as setting up clinics on federal lands.
Mr. Becerra said the fastest route to safeguarding abortion would be for Congress to act.
President Biden made a similar plea this week. He pressured Senate Democrats to bypass filibuster rules and codify Roe into law, though Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin III of West Virginia have opposed the idea.
“When you are stripped of a right, as the Supreme Court has just done to women of child-bearing age, it is tough to overcome,” Mr. Becerra said. • Tom Howell Jr. can be reached at [email protected] .

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
