During her speech at the Democratic National Committee summer meeting over the weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris called pro-life politicians"extremists."
For example, just seven countries permit elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. This list includes the United States, as well as China and North Korea. Like the leaders of those countries, Harris supports no gestational limit on abortion. In the 2020 election cycle, Tulsi Gabbard was the only Democratic primary presidential candidate who vocally supported a gestational limit on abortion .
Harris also supports using federal funds to pay for elective abortions, which the Hyde Amendment outlawed in the 1970s. It’s a provision that every president since Jimmy Carter had supported until President Joe Biden took the White House. It’s also a popular law: 58% oppose public funding for elective abortions, according to a 2021 Marist poll.
Harris is also on the side of pro-choice liberal politicians who oppose bans on sex-selective abortions, which predominantly occur due to son preference in some cultures. Only 19 House Democrats voted to ban it in 2012; 168 voted against the ban. The public finds this practice abhorrent: 77% want to outlaw it, according to a 2012 Charlotte Lozier Institute poll.
