We’re in a time when American politics is anything but the predictable. While anticipated, Joe Biden’s decision not to seek reelection still rocked the political world. He then endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
Since Life Issues Institute has fielded calls for more information on Kamala Harris’ stance on abortion, I am providing specifics here. This does not serve as either an endorsement for or opposition to any political candidate but is for informational purposes only.
As California Attorney General Kamala Harris supported legislation that would force pro-life pregnancy resource centers to refer women to abortion centers.
When a journalist exposed Planned Parenthood’s scheme of selling aborted baby body parts, Harris prosecuted the whistleblowers.
Then as a US Senate candidate she met secretly with Planned Parenthood to discuss her investigation which resulted in a raid of the journalist’s home.
Kamala Harris has refused repeatedly to say at what time if any during pregnancy she would support limits on abortion. As this video demonstrates, she continually says she supports reinstating Roe v Wade in legislative form.
Let’s look at her record in the US Senate.
Harris was a co-sponsor on multiple occasions of the Democrats’ signature abortion bill called Women’s Health Protection Act. If passed, this bill would surpass Roe v Wade in its support of abortion.
- It would force all 50 states to accept all-trimester abortion.
- The abortionist who is paid for the procedure is the only person allowed to determine whether or not the baby is “viable.”
- It would invalidate many existing state pro-life laws such as parental consent and notification.
- States are free to expand abortion such as civil protections for abortionists who botch procedures and harm women.
Harris repeatedly voted against laws providing protection for unborn babies when they can feel pain.
She also repeatedly opposed protections for babies who survived botched late-term abortions.
Harris voted multiple times against laws ending abortion after 20 weeks, long after the baby can feel the pain of an abortion. She called it an “immoral” bill.
As Vice President Kamala Harris launched what the White House called a “Reproductive Freedoms Tour.” The sole purpose of the events is to promote all-trimester abortion.
Kamala Harris’ stance on abortion is very public and clear. To our knowledge no one has been able to find any circumstance or time during pregnancy that she would limit abortion.
Sincerely,
Brad Mattes,
