Kamala Harris is traveling across the United States, advocating for reproductive rights. As the Vice President, she has just announced the start of her Fight For Reproductive Freedoms Tour. Her first stop in Wisconsin holds historical significance for the country's reproductive rights. Starting on January 22, the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the case that legalized abortion rights in America, Harris used social media to declare that the Biden administration will never stop fighting for a woman's right to make decisions about her own body.
On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the former Senator of California, Kamala Harris said, "The Supreme Court took away a fundamental right from the women of America, the right to make decisions about their own bodies." She went on to address the laws enacted by conservative lawmakers that restrict women from obtaining abortions, even in extreme circumstances. Harris stated, "After the court overturned Roe, extremists in our country have proposed and passed laws that would punish women and criminalize doctors. Some of these laws even carry a life sentence for doctors who provide necessary healthcare. We must understand the gravity of what is happening. These extremists are passing laws with no exceptions, not even for rape or incest. We must fight to restore the protections that Roe v. Wade provided for us."

According to NPR, Harris' visit to Wisconsin will include holding former President Donald Trump accountable for his role in these new restrictions. Wisconsin had one of the strongest responses to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, essentially banning all forms of abortion with a law that was written in the 19th century.
Harris will have four additional stops in her tour, visiting states with a range of stances on abortion, from those with current protections in place to states like Wisconsin with strict laws. As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Harris' focus on reproductive rights indicates that this will be a crucial topic in the race.
In related news, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are making a new pitch to Black voters in South Carolina. As the fight for reproductive freedoms continues, it is clear that this issue will be a top priority for the upcoming election.
