The 2024 Presidential Election is fast-approaching in November, and the Left is using abortion as a political weapon to defeat the Right and take down Donald Trump. With President Joe Biden’s recent decision to step down from the upcoming presidential race, the Democratic Party has chosen Vice President, Kamala Harris, as their official nominee. And, as of August 6, Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, as her running mate.
Where does Kamala Harris stand on abortion?
Kamala Harris is likely the most pro-abortion political leader our nation has ever seen. Before her Vice Presidency, Harris served as Attorney General of California from 2011 to 2017 and Democratic Senator of California from 2017 to 2021. In both positions, Harris used her platform and political influence to support numerous pieces of pro-abortion legislation. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, who has given her an “F” rating on their National Pro-Life Scorecard, put it like this:
“While Joe Biden could barely utter the word ‘abortion’ and for decades supported at least some basic limits, such as limits on taxpayer-funded abortions, Harris shouts abortion – and has not once voted or voiced support for ANY limits on abortion.”
Harris proudly supports abortion on demand through all 9 months of pregnancy, taxpayer-funded abortion, and even infanticide after birth. Watch this video of Harris in an interview, unwilling to name any limits on abortion that she would support.
A large part of Harris’ political career has been spent working against pregnancy resource centers, organizations that provide support, resources, and care for women and families facing unexpected or difficult pregnancies. She has described the services that these centers provide to women as “predatory practices”. In 2015, as California Attorney General, Harris sponsored the Reproductive FACT Act, which required pregnancy resource centers in California to advertise abortion to their clients.

In 2015, David Daleiden, an undercover journalist from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), posed as a laboratory wholesaler and secretly videotaped conversations with Dr. Ann Schutt-Aine, Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, and Tram Nguyen, RN, the branch’s Vice President of Abortion Access. The footage shows Planned Parenthood executives graphically discussing and joking about the sale of body parts from late-term babies, some of whom had been delivered alive and mostly intact.

In March 2016, then-California Attorney General, Kamala Harris, ordered agents from the state’s Department of Justice to raid Daleiden’s apartment and seize the videos.
“Harris, upon request from her donors at Planned Parenthood, opened a criminal investigation into Daleiden and the CMP, which has been ongoing for nine years.” – Allie Beth Stuckey, Conservative Commentator
Kamala Harris chose to prosecute the journalist who uncovered the story rather than Planned Parenthood who admitted to selling the body parts of aborted babies. Is this the type of person America wants as our president?
In 2019, as Democratic Senator for California, she voted against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S.311), which would require life-saving medical care for infants who survive an abortion. Her stance on abortion is nothing short of extreme. Because of this decision and others, she received a 100% approval rating on Planned Parenthood’s Congressional Scorecard for the 116th Congress in 2019-2020. Alexis McGill Johnson, President & CEO of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said this about Harris on July 23, 2024:
“Kamala Harris is more than qualified and ready to lead the nation as we face down the most urgent threat to democracy and our basic rights.”
In September of 2023 as Vice President, Harris launched a nationwide “Fight for our Freedoms College Tour”, where she visited dozens of colleges and universities across 8 states to rally thousands of students for abortion and other “threats” to their freedom, such as LGBTQ+ issues and climate action. Watch one of her tour stops here. Then, on January 22 of 2024, Harris kicked off her “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour in the battleground state of Wisconsin. The 6th stop on this tour in March was a Planned Parenthood in Minnesota, where Harris became the first U.S. President or Vice President on record to visit an abortion provider.
Governor Tim Walz is just as pro-abortion as his running mate. Here are just a few examples of what has happened under his leadership in Minnesota:
- Walz signed into law legal abortion on-demand through all 9 months of pregnancy in Minnesota. His law even stripped the requirement for parental consent, so minors can obtain an abortion without their parents’ knowledge or consent. His state is one of only 7 in the U.S. that allows abortion up to birth for any reason.
- Walz made it legal to coerce women into abortions by removing Minnesota’s law prohibiting women from being coerced into abortions, and repealing the requirement that women must be provided with informed consent before having an abortion.
- Walz removed laws in Minnesota protecting infants born alive after failed abortions. He also mandated that all data and reporting on abortion survivors be stopped, so that there is no solid data on these numbers. During his time in office, before his removal of the reporting requirement, the state of Minnesota reported that 8 children had been born alive after failed abortions and all of them died due to a lack of life-saving care.
- Walz proudly stands with Planned Parenthood, even escorting Kamala Harris to the center in Minnesota she visited on her “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms Tour” in March. In May of 2024, he targeted and eliminated Minnesota’s 2005 “Positive Alternatives” program, which provided millions of dollars in funding to life-saving pregnancy resource centers in the state.
Kamala Harris’ record on abortion speaks for itself, and it’s not pretty. A Harris-Walz presidency would mean that many of the same radical pro-abortion policies that they have brought to California and Minnesota over the last several years could be instituted nationwide. Any individual who believes dismembering and killing innocent children inside their mother’s womb is not only tolerable, but something to celebrate, is the last person who should be running a country. It is important that we, as a nation, unite to protect innocent life and stand for the protection and safety of women in this fall’s election.
