Anti-abortion politicians in the Senate have confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

RFK’s confirmation is part of a broader strategy to stack the Trump/Vance administration with extremists who will implement their anti-abortion agenda and further jeopardize public health.

Our statement by Nourbese Flint, abortion rights expert and President of All* Above All:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation to lead the Department of Health and Human Services is deeply concerning given his track record of spreading dangerous health misinformation. Women, people of color, immigrants, and working families can’t afford leadership that prioritizes conspiracy over science – especially when our lives are on the line.
