EMILY ERIN DAVIS: Vice President Kamala Harris’ Celebration Of Abortion

This week, Vice President Kamala Harris continued her ‘Abortions Around America Tour’ and became the first vice president to visit an abortion facility. While the media tried to make us believe this visit was monumental history in the making, it was in reality a step backward for our country.

When Harris stood in the halls of the abortion facility, she betrayed women like me – who have experienced abortion coercion. She betrayed the millions of unborn children who have been killed in abortion facilities across the country. She betrayed the majority of Americans who want reasonable limits on abortion. The Biden-Harris campaign is so desperate they’ve resorted to scaring women and eradicating children as their top agenda to claw back votes.

As I watched the videos of Harris applauding the work of Planned Parenthood, I kept asking myself, what does this visit say to women? Harris would argue it empowers us.

But just look at Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the country. The truth is that 97% of the time, pregnant women who turn to them are sold abortions, rather than offered help to keep their child. Harris’ message wasn’t empowering or uplifting.

It’s also not what women want. A survey of women who had abortions showed that 43% of them said the abortion was “inconsistent with their values and preferences,” 24% said it was “unwanted or coerced.” and 60% said they would have preferred to keep their baby “if they had received more support from others or had more financial security.”
