Kamala Harris in U.S. News and World Report


On Abortion: A staunch supporter of legal protection for abortion

Harris is a staunch supporter of legal protection for abortion. As California attorney general, she drew the ire of the state Catholic conference by sponsoring a bill compelling pro-life pregnancy centers advertise for "free or low-cost" abortion services. That law was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2018. Harris has confronted Biden over his own record on abortion--challenging the former vice president for not being "pro-choice" enough for the modern Democratic party.

On Abortion: Hyde Amendment denies poor women reproductive health care

Harris lambasted Biden's long support for the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for abortion services. She accused Biden of "withhold(ing) resources to poor women to have access to reproductive health care, including women who were the victims of rape and incest." Biden told Harris that he believes abortion to be a constitutional right.
