Now that President Biden has officially dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and thrown his support behind Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination, let’s re-examine the record of his “Abortion Czar,” who is arguably even more extreme than Biden himself:

1. She won’t name any limits on abortion she supports.

As we covered last September, Harris gave an interview on CBS’ Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan in which she repeatedly refused to name any specific limit on abortion the Biden-Harris administration would support. Watch her dodge Brennan’s questions for more than four minutes.

2. She is the first sitting vice president to campaign at an abortion business.

It was the wrong kind of “first”: In March, Harris made a campaign stop at a Planned Parenthood abortion center in Minnesota. As SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser pointed out, pregnant women are sold an abortion 97% of the time at Planned Parenthood rather than helped to keep their child or make an adoption plan. And in Missouri, they had recently gotten caught abetting the trafficking of a minor, saying, ‘We never tell the parents anything.’

Dannenfelser added:

Contrast this with the compassionate and truly empowering support offered by thousands of pregnancy resource centers across America, not only during pregnancy but well after their child is born. Under the Trump-Pence administration, Mike Pence became the first sitting vice president to visit a pregnancy resource center. It couldn’t be clearer who is aligned with the overwhelming majority of Americans who support pregnancy centers and want fewer abortions, not more.

3. She strongly supports and was an original co-sponsor of Democrats’ 50-state, all-trimester abortion mandate.

While in the Senate, Harris co-sponsored the Democrats’ signature abortion bill, the deceptively-named “Women’s Health Protection Act,” in 2017 and 2019.

As a refresher on what this bill does:

• It would impose no-limits abortion on demand at any point in pregnancy, in all 50 states.
• It makes the abortionist, whose payment depends on whether the abortion can be performed, the sole decider of what “viability” means and explicitly blocks any limits that conflict with that person’s “good-faith” judgment. Based on statements by abortionists such as Warren Hern and Colleen McNicholas, this could be at any time during pregnancy.
• It says that any state is welcome to widen the circumstances when post-viability abortions are allowed.
• It includes a list of specifically blocked types of laws that includes policies previously upheld by the Supreme Court, such as informed consent protections and parental notification.
• It would supersede not only all state laws, but also all current and future federal laws, including the Religious Freedom Restoration Act — permitting only a narrow carve-out for federal law on partial-birth abortion to stand (though it’s not entirely clear how enforceable that would be in light of many of its other prohibitions).

Even the two GOP senators who supported Roe said the WHPA went too far and voted against it — as did Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, who said, “They’re trying to make people believe that this is the same thing as codifying Roe v. Wade. And I want you to know, it’s not. This is not the same. It expands abortion.”

4. She voted against protections for babies when they can feel pain – AND babies born alive after failed abortions – repeatedly.

Then-Senator Harris voted twice against a limit on abortions at 20 weeks, well after science shows unborn babies can feel pain – calling it an “immoral” bill. As if that wasn’t bad enough, she also voted twice against ensuring medical care for babies who survive an abortion attempt.

5. She supports targeting pro-life Americans and shutting down pregnancy centers.

Before there was New York Attorney General Tish James’ anti-life lawfare, there was California Attorney General Kamala Harris. When brave citizen journalists exposed Planned Parenthood’s role in the harvest and sale of baby body parts, Harris prosecuted the whistleblowers:

Instead of investigating Planned Parenthood – which receives more than half a billion dollars a year in taxpayer funding and has spent millions to elect pro-abortion Democrats – Harris (then a candidate for U.S. Senate) met secretly with the organization to discuss the investigation. Two weeks later state agents raided [David] Daleiden’s home.

Daleiden is believed to be the first journalist ever criminally prosecuted under a California law that prohibits secret videotaping of “confidential” conversations.

As attorney general, Harris also backed legislation to force pregnancy resource centers that provide real support for women and families in need to refer for abortions – legislation that, after a long battle, was eventually struck down as unconstitutional at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Fast forward to 2022: Here is Harris praising efforts to shut down pregnancy centers. Under Biden-Harris administration, the targeting of pro-life Americans has only escalated as the DOJ throws nonviolent pro-life activists in prison.

In response to Biden’s departure from the race and endorsement of Harris, Dannenfelser and SBA are vowing to expose her extreme record:

Harris is so committed to abortion that she can’t see anything else – including the developmental stages of children before birth or the real needs of women.

…

In contrast, President Trump, JD Vance, and the GOP reject the Democrat attempt to impose abortion on demand across all 50 states and support the right of states to place limits on abortion. They support providing real options to mothers in need.

SBA Pro-Life America is leading the charge on the ground, delivering this contrast to over 10 million voters across the eight key battleground states that will determine the outcome of this election.
