Kamala Harris becomes first vice president to visit abortion clinic
Kamala Harris became the first sitting vice president to visit an abortion clinic when she toured a Planned Parenthood facility in Minneapolis on Thursday.
While at the clinic Harris met with the staff and toured the facility. After touring the clinic Harris took questions from reporters. She praised abortion providers and lashed out at lawmakers advancing pro-life legislation.
“How dare these elected leaders believe they are in a better position to tell women what they need, to tell women what is in their best interest,” Harris said.
“In this environment, these attacks against an individual’s right to make decisions about their own body are outrageous and, in many instances, just plain old immoral.”
The vice president, who is the first woman to hold the office, made the stop while on her “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour in which she has been touting the Biden administration’s pro-abortion agenda ahead of the 2024 election.
On the tour, Harris has decried state and national pro-life laws, calling them a “full-on attack” on women’s rights, and advocated for a national law enshrining Roe v. Wade.
