Kamala Harris on Abortion
Abortion has been the top issue for Harris for years. The Washington Post listed her positions on five key issues: abortion, the border, Israel and Gaza, the economy, and climate. There is no doubt as to which is most important, as The Post observes, “By far, Harris’s best-known policy position is that people should have access to abortion care.”
This is a central theme.
Harris’s record proves that she prioritizes abortion and holds radical ideas on the issue, as Ryan Anderson, President of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, has shown.
“Kamala Harris is an abortion extremist. Her words and actions over the course of her career—as California’s attorney general, as United States senator, and as vice president—leave no doubt as to that fact,” Anderson writes.
“Since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee for the presidency,” he adds, “Harris has sown confusion about her political vision by reversing many of her own publicly stated positions. But one thing remains constant: Abortion is her top priority.”
Justin Taylor recently noted some examples of Harris’s abortion extremism:
- Consistently withheld support for any protection of the unborn or the just-born
- Wants to force taxpayers to fund abortions
- Goals would require pro-life advocates to violate their conscience
- Displays an anti-Catholic bent
- Sought to compel pro-life centers to advertise for abortion
- Targeted pro-life activists
There are all easily verifiable with a simple Google search.
“Her choices—to visit a Planned Parenthood in Minnesota, a state competing to have the most permissive abortion regime in the nation, and to select Minnesota’s radically pro-abortion governor as her running mate—flow from her priorities,” Anderson writes.
This is important.
Harris’ Vice Presidential Candidate Tim Walz
What about Harris’s selection for Vice President, Tim Walz?
Minnesota was the first state to enact pro-abortion legislation after the Dobbs ruling by SCOTUS. Anderson points out how Walz signed legislation that declared abortion to be a fundamental right through all nine months of pregnancy.
You read that correctly—all nine months. To quote one of many fact checks, “The statute does not include any specific prohibitions on abortions at any stage of pregnancy.”
Anderson notes that Republicans are not without their issues, as they have weakened their support for the defense of unborn children. But this “should not obscure the fact that the Democratic Party under Harris is as radically pro-abortion as it can possibly be.”
Two things can be true at the same time—the Republicans have changed their views, which rightly leads to many questions about what that ticket really is committed to, and the Democratic Party is now the most radical party on abortion in American history—and certainly among the most radical in the world.
