MVP Harris is leading forcefully in the ongoing battle for reproductive rights — which we are going to WIN!
Commentary by Black Kos Editor Denise Oliver-Velez
Watching VP Kamala Harris, and her rousing reception in North Carolina at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, on June 24, where she spoke on the one year anniversary of the horrendous Supreme Court Dobbs decision, I couldn’t help being both proud and heartened that we have her as our Vice President at this crucial point in our history.
Though right-wing forces continue to ignore the fact that a majority of Americans support the right to choose, and reject the harsh measures being imposed to restrict access to abortion, I believe that this issue will mobilize voters, especially younger ones, to end the political careers of politicians — male and female, who essentially support the possibility of murdering anyone in need of an abortion — no matter the reason. Anti-abortionists claim, falsely, to be “pro-life” when they have zero problem condemning someone to die of sepsis, to “save” a fetus. Now that they have gotten their wish to end Roe, they assume they can continue to promote and enact extremes.
It ain’t gonna end well for them.
