Kamala Harris’ history of abortion extremism is impossible to conceal

Vice President Kamala Harris has tried for years to disguise her abortion extremism as ambiguity. The Democrat’s attempts to hide her radical beliefs about ending life in the womb through all nine months so she can continue to climb the political ladder, however, fail in the face of the facts.

Ever since she took office alongside President Joe Biden, Harris ensured that abortion was a priority for the White House and Biden administration. Much of this activism came through her events and speeches, such as when Harris became the first vice president to visit to a Planned Parenthood facility in March 2024.

In addition to her cushy relationship with abortion giants, Harris has not only praised the persecution of pro-life pregnancy centers but also lamented life-saving laws in Republican states from behind the White House seal.

Harris knows most Americans oppose Democrats’ unlimited abortion for all agenda, which is why she has repeatedly tried to downplay her role in advancing it.

In a September 2023 sitdown with CBS’ Margaret Brennan, Harris refused to say which abortion limits she supports, instead claiming she merely wants to “restore the protections of Roe [v.] Wade.”

Brennan noted that “[Roe] was about viability, which could be anywhere between 20 to 24 weeks” and pressed Harris to be “specific” about “which week of pregnancy” should serve as the cutoff. Harris, however, continued to obfuscate by using the same cop-outs the White House uses to cover up its desire to codify abortion through all nine months of pregnancy via legislation like the ill-named “Women’s Health Protection Act.”

Harris’ evasion is even more damning considering she is on the record supporting the bill that would have permitted late-term abortions as long as a doctor claims fair play under the wide-sweeping, undefined caveat of “a risk to [her] life or health.”

Even before she became VP, Harris had a notably anti-life track record.

During her time as California attorney general, Harris weaponized her authority to target a pro-life journalist who exposed Planned Parenthood for trafficking the body parts of aborted babies. She also pushed for and celebrated her state’s illegal and unconstitutional FACT Act, which, before the Supreme Court intervened in 2018, forced crisis pregnancy centers to tell their clients about how to get abortions.

As a senator, Harris sponsored, introduced, and voted for multiple bills that stripped protections for unborn babies and pro-lifers. In addition to co-sponsoring the original version of the “Women’s Health Protection Act,” Harris voted against protections for babies born alive after botched abortions. The Democrat didn’t stop there.

In 2018, Harris introduced the “Do No Harm Act,” which aimed to effectively kneecap doctors with religious objections to abortions and transgender mutilations. The Act also sought to punish faith-based schools and charities for their views on birth control.

During her first failed presidential campaign, she touted a plan to stifle Republican-led states from enacting pro-life protections without approval from the politicized Department of Justice. Harris also demanded the repeal of the Hyde Amendment.  

Biden often hid his abortion agenda behind his nominal Catholic faith, but Harris can’t.

In fact, she has a long history of anti-Catholic bigotry that not only hurts pro-lifers but also faithful papists. One such example was Brian Buescher, a nominee for the US District Court for Nebraska who was smeared by Harris in 2018 for his affiliation with the “extreme” Knights of Columbus.

Harris has tried and failed to paint her abortion extremism as something the country desires. The radicalism that she has touted from the beginning of her political career plagues her presidential aspirations to this day.
