Vice President Kamala Harris has taken a resolute stance against making concessions to GOP lawmakers on any abortion legislation she would pursue as president, emphasizing the importance of protecting women's rights to make decisions about their own bodies.
Harris, who has made abortion rights a central focus of her presidential campaign, has consistently advocated for Congress to enshrine the protections of Roe v. Wade into law.
When questioned about potential concessions to Republicans to advance abortion legislation, Harris firmly rejected the idea, stating, 'I don't think we should be making concessions when we're talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body.'
Despite suggestions of seeking support from moderate Republicans like Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Harris remained steadfast in her position, emphasizing the non-negotiable nature of restoring the protections of Roe v. Wade.
When pressed about potential challenges in passing such legislation, Harris reiterated her commitment to ensuring Democratic control of Congress to advance her agenda, stating, 'I'm doing everything I can to make sure that we do.'
Harris's unwavering stance underscores her dedication to upholding women's reproductive rights and the urgency she places on securing legislative protections for abortion access.
