Kamala Harris Says She'll Sign Law Mandating Abortion On Demand Nationwide If Elected President

(LifeSiteNews) –– Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is picking up on President Joe Biden's longtime promise to sign a law creating a national right to abortion on demand if she gets the chance, reclaiming her own history of pro-abortion radicalism. at the forefront

live action reports that while speaking to campaign staff on Monday, the new Democratic standard-bearer touted his “fight for reproductive freedom, knowing whether [former President and Republican nominee Donald] Trump has a chance, he will sign a national abortion ban to ban abortion in all states. But we won't let that happen.”

“It is this team here that will help this November elect a majority of members of the US Congress who agree that the government should not tell a woman what to do with her body,” Harris continued. “And when Congress passes legislation to restore reproductive freedoms, as president of the United States, I would sign it into law.”

Harris' remarks continue the Democratic strategy of insisting that Trump would pursue an aggressive pro-life agenda if elected, despite Trump and his allies spending much of the past two years, which culminated in a dramatically watered down Republican Party platformopposing not only a federal ban on abortion, but any other pro-life action at the federal level, in the anguish of many pro-lifers.

At the same time, the pledge is consistent with the record of the Biden-Harris administration on the issue during their tenure, he reflects The belief of the Democrats that pro-abortion fear-mongering will generate enough favorable turnout for them to win, and highlights the differences that remain between the Democratic ticket and Trump's current position on abortion.

Although the bill would ostensibly restrict abortion after fetal viability, in practice this gives discretion to abortionists decide whether an abortion after viability is “necessary” for the “health” of the mother.

Harris herself has it constantly rejected in interviews to mention any point where you would no longer support legal abortion, maintained Records 100% pro-abortion votes while in the US Senate and as California Attorney General processed pro-life journalist David Daleiden to expose Planned Parenthood's violation of laws regarding the harvesting of aborted baby parts instead of the abortion industry violators themselves. In March, she became the first vice president tour in person an abortion facility, a Planned Parenthood in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Biden announced On Sunday, he was dropping out of the 2024 race and endorsing his vice president to take over as the Democratic presidential nominee, after weeks of public and private calls depart from that a disastrous television debate heighten longstanding concerns about the The mental illness of an 81-year-old president, and convinced many that the issue could not be obscured well enough to keep it politically viable. Harris has it reported obtained pledged enough delegates to secure the nomination, although she too has faced off dissatisfaction with their own work performance and doubts on their own odds of winning.
