Texas Congressman slams VP Harris for leaving the word 'life' out of the Declaration of Independence

Texas GOP Rep. Brian Babin called out Vice President Kamala Harris for leaving the word "life" out of her quote from the Declaration of Independence during a recent speech.

"That's the number one thing that is listed by the Founding Fathers and for our vice president to leave that out is just incredible," Rep. Babin said on the Thursday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show.

"You know, they're so concerned about banning gas stoves but they've decided that all human beings don't deserve life and to be protected," he continued.

During a pro-abortion speech on the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Vice President Harris drew backlash for omitting the right to "life" while quoting the Declaration of Independence.

"We collectively believe and know, America is a promise," Harris said in the speech. "It is a promise of freedom and liberty. Not just some, but for all. A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence, that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Be clear, these rights were not bestowed upon us, they belong to us as Americans."

Rep. Babin also called out Democrats for not supporting bills that protect babies that survive a failed abortion.

Biden, Harris and the corrupt Deep Democrat State don’t care. They won.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of social justice.

These are the demons we are supposed to “compromise” and “come to solutions” with.

Godless socialists.

I am glad you posted this. I happened to have watched Kamala make the speech and it was very, very obvious that she intentionally omitted ‘’’LIFE’’’’.

She also left out Who endows us with our unalienable rights.

You know, this is part of our common heritage as Americans. Not even the High and Mighty Vice President of the United States gets to change it.

“She also left out who endows is with our unalienable rights”

1000% correct and important because that line “we are endowed by our creator….” Emphasizes that our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” are natural rights and NOT subject to the whims of any government.

She also left out “endowed by our Creator”. Instead she said we were “promised.” What bull sh*t. Obama did that too, repeatedly. These evil people really hate God, I’ve noticed.

And she goes further to say that these rights belong to us because we are Americans, implying that nobody else from other countries have these rights.

The Declaration of Independence said to the other countries of the world that these were human rights endowed by our Creator that were inherent in all of us, including slaves. The passages about slavery were later removed from the Declaration by the southern state delegations.

Kind of difficult to practice liberty
and freedom without life. The pursuit
of happiness flies along the same lines.

They’ve also changed equality to equity, and freedom of religion to freedom of worship.

Which tells me she and others in our government don’t care about the life of others no matter their color, age, gender or faith. They would kill us off for our beliefs if they could and they will go for it one day, you can count on it.
