Vice President Kamala Harris excoriated the Supreme Court’s recent decision peel back of five decades of federal abortion protections, calling its precedent-busting shift a “health care crisis” during a visit Thursday to her old San Francisco Bay Area stomping grounds.
Harris slammed the Supreme Court for taking away the right to abortion that was afforded by Roe through its recent Dobbs decision. And she decried ”extremist” leaders who are using the court’s decision to pass bans on abortions, even in cases of rape or incest.
“But not in California,” Harris added. “Here we have leaders who understand the importance of the principles upon which our nation was founded.” She stressed that the government should not make such decisions for women.
