Vice President Kamala Harris does not believe that the pro-life position is a legitimate one, and she has pledged to bring prosecutorial punishment down on all who disagree with her extremist abortion position.
Anyone who warns of Trump’s “authoritarianism” needs to consider what a President Harris would mean for pro-life activists and institutions.
The pro-life position is that children in utero are humans who deserve the protection of the law. Harris has said this is not tolerable.
“We cannot tolerate a perspective that is about going backward and not understanding women have agency,” Harris said in 2019. “On this issue, I’m kind of done.”
She promised in 2019 to sic the Justice Department on states that pass pro-life laws. Instead, the Biden-Harris Justice Department created a task force to prosecute pro-lifers, and those charges were often flimsy in the extreme. These charges were best understood as a way to harass pro-lifers.
I wrote about her extremism on abortion in 2020:
“She prosecutes pro-life journalists. ‘On this issue,’ when talking about how she’ll handle pro-lifers, Kamala says, ‘I’m a former prosecutor.’ Sure enough, she teamed up with abortion giant Planned Parenthood to prosecute activist filmmaker David Daleiden for his undercover films exposing Planned Parenthood’s business in selling the remains of the babies they abort.
“She would strip away conscience protections for doctors or nurses who do not want to take part in abortions. That’s a provision in the ‘Women’s Health Protection Act‘ that she cosponsors.
“She opposes even the basic requirements on abortion, including parental notification, waiting periods, and informed consent laws. Those could all be gutted by the ‘Women’s Health Protection Act.’
“She supports late-term abortions.”
This is all in the context of Democrats trying to shut down pro-life crisis pregnancy centers and the American Civil Liberties Union trying to force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions.
Harris’s anti-Catholic bigotry flames up at times. As a senator, she tagged the Knights of Columbus as an extremist group outside the bounds of polite society.
A Harris presidency would mean persecution for pro-lifers.
