WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris said Monday that the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade, the landmark decision legalizing abortion, is likely to endanger other rights, including those of gay marriage and birth control.
She said Justice Clarence Thomas, who cast doubt on those rights in a concurring opinion, was merely saying “the quiet part out loud” as the court’s conservative wing increasingly asserts itself.
“I definitely believe this is not over,” she said in a CNN interview, her first one-on-one since the Supreme Court issued its historic 5-4 abortion ruling.
