Kamala Harris speaks in Arizona following abortion ruling

35

Watch live as US Vice President Kamala Harris delivers remarks on reproductive reform in Arizona.

It comes as the state is to ban nearly all abortions after its supreme court ruled a law from the Civil War-era could be enforced.

It means an 1864 law criminalising abortions except when a mother’s life is at risk – with no exceptions for pregnancies due to rape or incest – will become enforceable.

  1. Abortion is NOT 'reproductive care.' In fact it is the very opposite – it is reproductive destruction.
    Neither is abortion "reproductive freedom." Instead it is license to kill the unborn.
    It is also interesting that in the defense of "women's rights" Harris ignores the rights of the most vulnerable females on this planet – unborn baby girls!!
    There are methods of birth control that do not involve killing a fully formed baby with its own heart and brain. In this day and age, there is no excuse to use the killing of an unborn baby as a method of birth control.
    I used to think that exceptions should be made for rape, but then I heard the stories of loving, caring adults who were the product of rape. For couples who have no "reproductive freedom" because they cannot reproduce, it is difficult to find babies to adopt. Thus, if a woman becomes pregnant by rape and feels the baby would remind her of her ordeal, allowing the baby to be adopted is a viable option.
    The other issue left out of the discussion is the despair and suffering of many women who have had abortions. Abortion is irreversible, as too many women have belatedly discovered.

  2. Whew! Harris supposedly upholds the freedom over our own bodies and "not having the government telling us what to do."
    Someone help me out here, but wasn't she all in favor of forcing people to be injected with an experimental "vaccine" against COVID?
    Is this a bit of hypocrisy?
    AND, by the way, an unborn baby is a genetically distinct person. It is NOT a part of the mother's body. So "abortion rights" are rights to kill the unborn and, in some cases, the recently born.
    There are rare instances in which it is not possible for both the mother and the unborn baby to live. In such instances, parents and doctors must make a very difficult decision that has nothing to do with "abortion rights.
    Harris's speech is full of errors. Abortion never was "a constitutional right." But the baby has a constitutional right to life, liberty and happiness – not Death!

  3. Funny thing , could the biden administration make an executive decision to bring "rowe vs wade" into federal law. If they could have, before they lost both legislative houses to the republicans, why didn't they ?

  4. I don’t get all the happiness around abortion …don’t they know it’s killing ?I mean shouldn’t it be the absolute last choice? These people applaud it! I don’t get it. If her mother had an abortion she wouldn’t be here to clap and cheer for it. Clapping for abortion??!!! Sad sad sad

  5. Why is the domestic politics of a country NEWS for other countries? Unless the subject is foreign policy. Eg abortion laws are not news outside that country.

  6. To the women of Arizona, women alllll over the country, and the men who support them….Remember!

    DONALD TRUMP DID THIS! 😡

    He’s about to, as is being said, “FK AROUND AND FIND OUT” what women are going to do!

    Ladies….LET’S GOOOOOOOO!

    BIDEN/HARRIS 2024!

  7. Unless/until "The moment of conception" is changed to the moment an embryo successfully implants in a uterus (before which the merged sperm + egg are not viable), total abortion bans will also prevent IVF!!!!!!

  8. FDLMP (First Day of Last Menstrual Period) is how the onset of pregnancy is timed. Think about that when realizing how ridiculous Florida's 6 wk ban is! Not to mention that hundreds of thousands of girls don't have "regular" cycles!

  9. Excellent speech. The VP continues to affirm ahe has found her voice. Indeed, this issue is why she is the best person to meet and advance rhis moment. Government has no miral r8ght demonizing women and has no right to order women nor to punish for what they do with their body.
