Activists believe that the vice president, who is already the leading voice for reproductive rights in the Biden administration, will champion their cause.
Reproductive rights organizations have been quick to come out in support of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee after President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he would drop out of the presidential race and endorse Harris instead. Harris could be an even stronger proponent for reproductive health care than President Biden, who has been hesitant to speak directly about abortion during his presidency.
At the event, Harris said the Biden administration was fighting to protect women’s access to reproductive care. “We trust women. We trust women to make decisions about their own bodies. We trust women to know what is in their own best interest,” she said. Despite Biden’s discomfort around the issue, his administration has nonetheless supported policies to protect and expand access to reproductive health care.
