On January 24, 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris embarked on a nationwide tour to advocate for reproductive rights. This tour, known as the "Fight For Reproductive Freedoms Tour," held a special significance for Harris as it coincided with the 51st anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court case, Roe v. Wade.
In a video addressing her supporters, Harris acknowledged the importance of this date, stating, "Today marks the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a day that the Supreme Court took away a fundamental right for the women of America to make decisions about their own bodies." She went on to highlight the detrimental impact of legislation enforced by conservative lawmakers, which prohibited women from terminating pregnancies, even in dire circumstances.
Harris expressed her concern for the extreme measures being taken in some states, where doctors could face life imprisonment for providing necessary healthcare to women. She also denounced the passing of laws with no exceptions, even in cases of rape or incest. Harris urged for the reinstatement of the protections that Roe v. Wade provided, emphasizing the urgency of this fight.
As part of her tour, Harris visited Wisconsin, where she held former President Donald Trump accountable for his role in encouraging these new restrictions. Wisconsin was one of the states with the harshest response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, effectively banning all abortion methods in a law that was initially written in the 19th century. Harris's visit to Wisconsin was just one of the four stops she will make in states with varying stances on abortion, including those that currently have protections in place.
With the 2024 presidential election approaching, Harris's focus on abortion rights indicates that it will be a crucial topic in this year's race. As the country eagerly awaits the outcome of the election, Harris's unwavering commitment to protecting a woman's right to make decisions about her own body has received support from organizations like the Nikki Haley Voters PAC. It is clear that Harris's Fight For Reproductive Freedoms Tour is just the beginning of her efforts to ensure reproductive rights for all.
