As the election draws near, the mainstream media continues to proclaim that abortion is the one issue that is going to bring about a Democratic victory. The media asserts that this issue is so strong in the Democrat favor it will sweep Harris and her pro-abortion cronies into the White House and into control of both houses of Congress.
Well, not so fast.
The American public is very divided on the issue of abortion but clearly does not support abortion-on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy, as Kamala Harris does. Further, her radical support for abortion and her hatred for the work of pro-life pregnancy centers show that she is not “pro-choice.” Instead, she is “pro-abortion.”
In 2015, as the Attorney General for the state of California, Harris sponsored the California Reproductive Fact Act. She aggressively lobbied for its passage, and it was signed into law. It mandated that pro-life centers promote abortion by advertising with a sign in their waiting room the availability of a state-funded abortion and further, provide an 800-number for their clients to call to get the abortion procedure started.
The National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA), a legal network of nearly 1,800 member pregnancy centers nationwide, filed suit against Harris asserting that the law violates the free speech rights of pro-life pregnancy centers by forcing them to promote a message with which they fundamentally disagree. Such agencies are thoroughly pro-life and do not refer for abortion. Such a mandate is abhorrent to them.
The federal lawsuit was initially titled NIFLA v. Harris but later became NIFLA V. Becerra when Harris moved up the political ladder and was elected to the Senate. However, Harris was, from the beginning, a strong supporter and advocate for the law and remained so throughout the life of the case.
If the validity of the law were to be upheld then could an organization such as Alcohol Anonymous be also compelled to place a sign in its waiting area advising its clients where the local liquor store is located? Or, could the government force Hindu temples to promote hamburgers? If the law had been allowed to stand the answer to both of these inquiries would be a resounding “yes.” Whether such a law would be adopted would only depend upon who holds the strongest influence with lawmakers.
Fortunately, the Supreme Court of the United States found the law unconstitutional that discriminates against the rights of pro-life pregnancy centers. In a 5-4 decision the Supreme Court labeled the law “content discrimination” and invalidated it. Harris and her successor Xavier Becerra (now secretary of Health and Human Services) were thwarted temporarily in their war to stop mothers considering abortion from receiving the supportive services that will empower them to choose life.
Pregnancy centers number nearly 3,000 agencies nationwide and provide to mothers in crisis major support resources such as ultrasound confirmation of pregnancy, pregnancy testing, STI testing and treatment, referrals for medical services, legal services, mental health counseling, adoption services, baby accessories and clothes, housing, and more. All services are free of charge.
A recent study and report from the Charlotte Lozier Institute in Washington D.C. entitled “Hope for a New Generation” found that in 2022, pregnancy centers nationwide provided material assistance and aid to more than 16 million women valued at more than $367,000,000 – a nice savings to taxpayers.
So why would Kamala Harris oppose these centers and attempt to legally close them down? Perhaps the answer is that she and her fellow progressives are so wedded to abortion as a value that, in fact, abortion is what they care about most. If they were truly pro-choice then they would obviously support the work of pregnancy centers who offer support so that a mother may choose life.
There is no greater example of the love Kamala Harris has for abortion than in her recent visit to an abortion clinic and her public display of support. NIFLA countered her visit with an invitation for her to visit a pro-life pregnancy center and observe the other side of choice. It was no surprise that no response was received from Harris.
Kamala Harris has shown herself to be a “Collaborator in Chief” with the abortion industry. If she is elected President this will undoubtedly continue. Scuttlebutt around the nation’s Capitol suggests that as President she might select as her Attorney General the current Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra. There is no doubt that if this comes to pass together they will continue to wage war against pro-life pregnancy centers as they did in California.

Follow the money. There’s a lot of $ in the dead baby industry.
Why do they keep calling it abortion when in fact it’s more akin to genocide? I look at the positive side of the issue: If all liberal women got an abortion (and sterilized afterwards!), how bad can that be?
In other words, America is better off when the liberal hordes no longer care to reproduce and abort/murder their would be offspring in the womb.
It’s the addition by subtraction thing.
What’s her Opinion on endangered Lizards and Rats? or the Spotted Owls while the Wildlife agents are killing Barred Owls?
The GOP wants full control over your womb.
Your Mom obviously had no control over hers.
Always worth remembering that Planned Parenthood was formed, in part, to control the numbers of black people. Sanger was rather up front about that, as even Hillary Clinton finally had to admit.
First, Kommiela probably never heard of Sanger and second, she ain’t black and doesn’t care.
are you the product of a partial abortion, where the body lives but the brain is DOA? don’t reply because the answer is an obvious “yes”.
Your parents believed in Life enough to give birth to a pathetic little Pinhead like you
Most discussion and debate over abortion rights seem to focus on moral arguments and/or a women’s right to choose. Yet what is often overlooked is the issue of God-given natural rights, which is the basis for the American grand experiment in liberty.
So how does that concept apply?
The Preamble to the Declaration of Independence defines the sublime ideal of the American idea of self-governance. Under the Preamble’s fundamental precept, all people, in all places and in all times have a God-given right to life, liberty, and happiness (Greek: eudaimonia–intellectual and moral flourishing), That right extends to those living, as well as to those destined to be born, but for an act of God (or, tragically, man).
Thus, under the current concept of personal choice, one person can deny another their God-given natural right to life, while the third person involved has no acknowledged legal rights in the process whatsoever.
In that context, then, “choice” arguably becomes an existential threat to the very American ideal of liberty.
By the way, the former Soviet Union condoned unbridled abortion rights. That historical fact should prompt in us all yet another serious contemplation in determining where we stand on the issue.
Maybe she’ll have Tampon Timmy model one of those, “I’ve had 21 abortions!” t-shirst
When a Democrat says a woman has a right to abortion up to to birth, she really means the woman has a right to a dead baby. That’s why Democrats so ruthlessly prevent any form of legal protection for babies who survive a botched abortion. Remember such a child is already born outside the “my-body-my-choice” zone; no “reproductive rights” are involved here.
Pro-life pregnancy centers have little to do with changing the law. Their primary focus is just providing women with the means to continue their pregnancy should they choose to do so. They provide diapers, car seats, counseling for spousal abuse or drug addiction, parenting classes (for dads too) referrals for breast exams, ultrasounds and pre-natal care. In a sane world abortion clinics would refer a woman who was hesitant about her abortion to an alternative; like a crisis pregnancy center.
Well, like Elvis, sanity has left the building.
STRANGE that the Com-Left, Biden/Kamala, want open borders to add more people to our population, BUT THEN THEY, with government funding, SUPPORTED ABORTING ONE MILLION BABIES LAST YEAR, and millions before them…. and guess what…. THEY WOULD HAVE BE BORN…. AMERICANS not foreigners who will always wave their flag WHILE BURNING OURS!
“Who was aborted yesterday, will be today, and will be tomorrow? Another Einstein or Tesla? Elvis or Sinatra? Ella or Louie? The person whose Destiny is to invent a cure for cancer, even breast cancer? The First Black President? First Human on Mars? WHO? What was their Destiny? To be aborted?”
U.S. BISHOPS put out a statement that Catholics must vote PRO-LIFE. Here in NM, Hispanics were born Catholic and Democrat and will vote against their religious morals, family values, because they are always Democrats first and Religion last. (Many churches have been taken over by Far-Left non-believers to only promote their Social Justice and abortion is on the top of the list. Helping ILLEGALS is second.)
“I’m Hispanic and I was born a Democrat. Ten seconds after birth, the (D)octor branded my bottom left cheek with a BIG (D). It’s really BIG now! When we left the hospital, they gave my mother my birth certificate and voter registration filled out for life. Three months later, I voted in my first election… straight (D). Blacks are leaving The Plantation. Native Americans are leaving The Reservation. I left El Rancho Grande… but Democrats need not worry because when we die, we’ll be voting for Democrats again!” SC
KAMALA HARRIS: ETHICALLY DEPRAVED, MORALLY SQUANDERED SOCIOPATH. AS A LAWYER, THE ONLY JOB AVAIL TO HER WAS BEING A DEM POL LIKE THE OTHERS.
The funding announcement comes after Axios reported in May that Harris was “quietly forming a small, outside group of women allies to help amplify her role as the White House’s leading warrior” against Republican-led laws protecting unborn babies from abortion. A Democrat official familiar with the situation told the outlet that 14 women from across the abortion industry and other groups met with Harris, including Butler for EMILY’s List, Alexis McGill Johnson of Planned Parenthood, and NARAL’s Mini Timmaraju.

In Kamala’s America, killing and dismembering unborn babies and marketing their body parts is perfectly acceptable. Reporting on the practice is criminal. If that is not fascistic, I am not sure I know what is.

It is the handmaidens working for Planned Parenthood who have joked about selling aborted baby body parts. And it was Kamala Harris, when she was A.G. of California, who viciously prosecuted the young man who exposed that scandal, after she had received a hefty donation from Planned Parenthood.
///
AND THEN THERE WAS KAMALA…
IS KAMALA A WITCH OR DOES SHE ONLY LAUGH LIKE ONE????
Her (KAMALA HARRIS) more radical positions, such as support for the Obama administration’s Iran deal, prosecuting a journalist who exposed Planned Parenthood’s collection and sale of aborted babies’ body parts (while receiving campaign donations from them), and defending Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism, may indeed sit well with a great many leftists, but her actions as Attorney General of California may not. While in that position, Harris jailed hundreds on marijuana charges and authorized anti-prostitution sting operations which, according to SF Weekly, disproportionately targeted Latino men (a crucial Democrat demographic). In addition to this — though she later admitted it was a mistake — she prosecuted and jailed the parents of truant teens. She even refused to release the names of Catholic priests accused of sexually molesting children, abnegating law enforcement’s most basic and humane duty — regardless of anyone’s opinion of the Catholic Church.

David Daleiden: Kamala Harris Prostituted Her Law Enforcement Powers to Planned Parenthood
ROBERT KRAYCHIK
David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), said Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) prostituted her powers in her former role as California’s attorney general for the benefit of Planned Parenthood in an interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak.
Kamala is coming apart as the Democrats are eating themselves. Perhaps there IS a God.
well, DEMS have been eating us for years. It’s good to know they’re gorging themselves to death. We will be better off when the party is banned.
