PUBLISHED 3:35 PM EDT Sep. 16, 2022Vice President Kamala Harris, who has taken nearly a dozen trips around the country to highlight Democrats’ fight for abortion rights, on Friday made her first political appearance on the issue, participating in a campaign event for Ilinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.
Harris has become the Biden administration’s foremost voice on reproductive rights, and the trip to Chicago Friday marks her tenth time traveling to address the topic, not counting a handful of events in Washington, D.C.“We must agree that the women of America have the ability to exercise their own judgment in making decisions about their own body, and the government should not be making that decision for her,” Harris said, with Pritzker sitting to her left.
"I've been traveling the country and I can tell you, from everything I know about your opponent, he is one of the most extreme anti-choice candidates in the country," Harris said of Bailey, saying to cheers: "If you believe women's rights are fundamental to America, that immigrant justice is fundamental to America, that LGBTQ rights are fundamental to America – vote for Democrats.
At the same time, the Biden administration has been clear: Congress needs to act to solidify protections for abortion rights nationwide.
