Citing the vice president’s office, various reports noted this will be the first instance of a president or vice president visiting a facility that performs abortions.
Harris is scheduled to tour the facility with its chief medical officer and meet with its staff members, NPR reported.
The location or identity of the center has not been disclosed due to security reasons, according to the Associated Press.
The report added that the center provides a variety of reproductive health services, including “abortion, birth control and preventative wellness care.”
The vice president will also be briefed on the impact abortion restrictions in nearby states have had on Minnesota—which has enshrined access to the procedure into state law.
