Here’s what Kamala thinks of abortion
The Democratic Party is making abortion the focus of the presidential race. It’s understandable, as issues such as border security, inflation, and foreign policy have yielded less than stellar results under their governance. So let’s take a look at Kamala Harris’ abortion views.
In a May 1st speech in Florida this year, she spelled it out:
“And as we know, almost two years ago, the highest court in our land — the court of Thurgood and RBG — took a constitutional right that had been recognized from the people of America, from the women of America.”
Actually, that’s not quite accurate. The Court returned the issue to the states, leaving the issue to their voters, including women voters. And since women vote in higher numbers than men, they can pass any abortion laws that they want. But the reality is that many, maybe even most, women voters recognize how damaging abortion is to their fellow women.
Harris continued:
“And now, in states across our nation, extremists have proposed and passed laws that criminalize doctors, punish women; laws that threaten doctors and nurses with prison time, even for life, simply for providing reproductive care; laws that make no exception for rape or incest, even reviving laws from the 1800s.”
Again, Ms. Harris isn’t accurate. Pro-life laws don’t punish women, they punish the doctors and clinics who harm a third party, the unborn human child via abortion. As of June 18th, of the 20 states with abortion bans or early gestational limits in effect, ten allow exceptions for rape and incest, and ten don’t.
The word ‘extreme’ and ‘radical’ are deployed against pro-lifers ad nauseam by the political Left, and Harris is no exception. But seriously, which side is most extreme on this issue?
Harris calls for a ‘pre-clearance’ standard be applied against states that pass pro-life legislation. Said Harris during the 2020 campaign: “As president, I will stop dangerous state laws restricting reproductive rights before they go into effect.”
So much for respecting “our democracy.”
She has supported Medicare for All which would end all abortion regulation at the state level; compel pro-life doctors and nurses to perform human abortion in violation of their consciences; as well as using taxpayer dollars to pay for them.
She opposes the Hyde Amendment which blocks the use of public monies for abortion.
Perhaps Harris’ most radical vote on the abortion issue was her ‘no’ vote on the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.” This bill would’ve required the abortion doctor to “exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child” as he/she would do to “any other child born alive at the same gestational age.” It requires a heart of stone to deny healthcare to a little human being struggling to live.
Pro-life leaders around the country have blasted Kamala Harris’ abortion views.
Pulse executive director, Maggie DeWitte, put it this way:
“Kamala Harris is the epitome of the extreme, radical abortion position. She believes in abortion on demand with no limits and that taxpayers should fund it. She actively campaigns against states and organizations that promote and pass pro-life legislation that will help women and families. The bottom line is that a vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for death.”
Live Action’s Lila Rose said:
“As California AG, Kamala Harris persecuted pregnancy resource centers and pro-life journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merrit. As VP, she’s continued her crusade against pro-life Americans & the preborn. A Harris presidency would be disastrous for human rights.”
So what are Kamala Harris’ abortion views? Essentially, no limits on abortion at the state or national level.
