CV NEWS FEED // Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a pro-abortion campaign speech in downtown Jacksonville, FL Wednesday – the same day Florida’s pro-life law protecting most unborn children after six weeks gestation went into effect.
During her remarks, she repeatedly referred to the “heartbeat” law – and other state’s pro-life laws – as a “Trump abortion ban.”
Florida voters are set to decide the fate of Amendment 4 – a measure that seeks to add a so-called “right to abortion” into the state’s Constitution – on November 5, the same day as the presidential election.
In her speech, Harris said that the overturning of Roe v. Wade “happened just as [former President] Donald Trump had intended.”
“Now, present day, because of Donald Trump, more than 20 states have abortion bans,” she added. “More than 20 Trump abortion bans.”
“And today, this very day, at the stroke of midnight, another Trump abortion ban went into effect here in Florida,” the vice president went on:
As of this morning, four million women in this state woke up with fewer reproductive freedoms [sic] than they had last night. This is the new reality under a Trump abortion ban.
Starting this morning, medical professionals … could be sent to prison for up to five years, for providing reproductive care [sic] even earlier in pregnancy.
“Florida became subject to an abortion ban so extreme it applies before many women even know they are pregnant,” the Democrat continued. “Which by the way tells us the extremists who wrote this ban either don’t know how a woman’s body works or they simply don’t care.”
“Trump says he wants to leave abortion ‘up to the states,’” Harris stated, making air quotes with her hands.
“So, here’s how that works out,” she added. “Today 1 in 3 women of reproductive age live in a state with a Trump abortion ban. Many with no exception for rape or incest.”
WJXT reported: “If 60% of voters approve Amendment 4, the right to an abortion would become a constitutional right in the state of Florida. [Republican] Gov. Ron DeSantis is against it.”
DeSantis signed Florida’s six-week Heartbeat Protection Act into law in April 2023. The Florida Supreme Court allowed it to go into effect – with a 30-day hold – on April 1, the same day it allowed Amendment 4 to proceed to Florida’s November ballot.
In March, Harris became the first sitting vice president to visit a facility that performs abortions when she toured a Planned Parenthood branch in Minneapolis.
Hard to believe kammy is dumber than sloJoe.
Nah, they just assume all women are dumb.
“Trump Abortion Ban!”
We’ll be hearing that ALOT over the next few months, and it could turn the election.
Kamala hates the constitution. I imagine she thinks were a democracy.
Democrats believe they have a winning message in the killing of the unborn. They’re going all out with that being their primary issue for the elections. Abortions is more important to them than the poor economy and the border crisis and the lawlessness in blue cities/states and the anti-Jew/anti-Israel/anti-America demonstrations.
If democrats do end up winning the presidency and the senate and/or the house, America is done for, because it is the people who are also wanting to destroy the country and bring on wars all over the world.
The Federal Government has usurped so much power from the states over time, I'm not sure it can be undone.
And it's all about money. From speed limits to school cirriculmum....to school loans to solar grants to windmill grants. etc etc
If this is all the the left has, theyre in trouble. Killing unborn kids will be the centerpiece of the attacks on Trump.... but in the end all Trump did appoint folks to the SC that returned state rights back to states...as intended.
There are plenty of abortions, plan b , birth control.... all the things that allow you to not have an inconvenient child out there so their claims of womens health crisis and govt “control” over ones body is a bit overblown.
They're all pregnant? Where did she get that number?
