Shot and Chaser: HHS, a hate group and stunning hypocrisy at the UN​

Shot:

Earlier this week, embattled HHS staffer Scott Lloyd stated at a panel (sponsored by C-Fam, an organization designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center) that “the experience of coming across Mexico is usually one that happens to some degree through a smuggling outfit” and that the unaccompanied children are “essentially at the mercy of those smugglers during that long and dangerous trip,” and noting that many of the unaccompanied minors have been “sexually assaulted or violated.”

Chaser:

Lloyd has spent his entire time at HHS depriving young women who have experienced the very horrors he outlined access to their constitutional rights. Lloyd has, with the endorsement of HHS Sec. Alex Azar:

  • Demanded a weekly spreadsheet tracking the pregnancies of young women in its care…
  • Removed abortion from appropriate routine medical health care….
  • Continues to deny access to abortion — even for women who have been raped.
