Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a speech in Houston, addressing what she described as a significant assault on fundamental freedoms and rights across the nation. Speaking at a gathering of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority, Harris emphasized the importance of various freedoms, including the right to vote, safety from gun violence, living without fear of bigotry and hate, openly expressing love, learning America's true history, and a woman's autonomy over her body.
Harris has been actively advocating for abortion rights following the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the US Supreme Court in 2022. She spearheaded a 'reproductive freedoms tour' earlier this year, which included a visit to an abortion clinic in Minnesota, a historic move for a sitting US president or vice president.
