Harris Puts Abortion, a Weakness for Trump, at Center of Campaign
The Wall Street Journal ^ | July 29, 2024 | Catherine Lucey, Laura Kusisto and Vivian Salama

WASHINGTON—Kamala Harris is making abortion rights central to her candidacy for president as Republicans struggle to articulate a winning message on the issue.

In contrast with President Biden, who was reluctant to say the word abortion, the vice president has campaigned aggressively on it since the 2022 Supreme Court ruling that eliminated the constitutional right to the procedure. At the White House, she has met with abortion providers and women who have had abortions. Earlier this year, Harris was believed to be the first president or vice president to visit an abortion clinic.

After locking up the support to be the Democratic nominee, Harris’s campaign launched a blitz of abortion-related campaign activities Monday, including events hosted by second gentleman Doug Emhoff and advocates. The campaign also released a video with the vice president condemning a new abortion law in Iowa, hoping to energize women and independent voters with her promise to protect abortion rights.

As the landscape of the 2024 race rapidly shifts, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump must now contend with an opponent who embraces abortion rights in a way that Biden didn’t—and who is viewed positively on the issue. A recent Wall Street Journal poll showed that 51% of voters thought Harris was best able to handle abortion, compared with 33% who preferred Trump. Harris lagged behind Trump on issues such as immigration and the economy.

Not a weakness for Trump and not a Federal election issue. Why doesn’t The Border Czar just run on fixing the border and fixing the economy?

The left’s weaknesses on abortion are far greater: they’ve built their entire abortion platform on lies.

Contrary to what the article says, there was NEVER a constitutional right to murder an unborn child.

She fully supports 9 month abortions ..9 month. So the women are going to hand the country to this leftist radical so women can kill a fully developed baby if they chose. That’s just great.

It’s not a weakness. It’s a strength.

Most Americans are not for abortion throughout a pregnancy.

In just about every country in Europe, there's some sort of restriction on abortion.

That’s her only issue. A dead tree could formulate economic policy better than her.

Not surprised Harris puts the murder of unborn children central to her campaign.....or that she supported what was seen in France......they are after our children either by death or by mentally damaging them in their formative years.

The enemy of mens souls targets children because he knows it hurts God.

Remember this photo? If you don't, look up "hand of hope".

Being pro-life is never a "weakness".

Total bulls***-Que Mala nor anyone else is going to protect any abortion/infanticide because the supreme court ruled that the decision belongs to each state by throwing out Roe v Wade. It never should have been in the control of the fed anyway. there is no “right” to murder an unborn human in the constitution. There are plenty of states like Cali that still allow abortion for any old reason-let the woman drive to one of those, and leave the states that respect life alone...
