Tweet - "If the Supreme Court overturns Roe, abortion could be banned in states across the country, putting women's lives at risk. Since day one, our position has been clear: We will defend women's constitutional rights and fight to protect the right to self-determination."

Kamala Harris
|
| June 3, 2022

|
Kamala Harris
|
| May 26, 2022
|
Tweet - "Oklahoma enacted an absolutely shameful law banning abortion yesterday. This law, which effectively outlaws abortion from the moment of fertilization and takes immediate effect, is the most extreme state law yet and threatens the fundamental rights of all women."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| May 22, 2022
|
Tweet - "The right to privacy that forms the basis of Roe v. Wade also protects the right to use contraception and the right to marry the person you love. Overturning Roe opens the door to restricting those rights."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| May 21, 2022
|
Tweet - "If Roe v. Wade is overturned, it will be an extreme step backward and a direct assault on the fundamental right to self-determination. It represents a threat not just to women but to all Americans."

Kamala Harris
|
| May 19, 2022
|
Tweet - "Today, Oklahoma passed a law effectively banning abortion from the moment of fertilization--the latest in a series of blatant attacks on women by extremist legislators. It has never been more urgent that we elect pro-choice leaders at the local, state, and federal level."

|
Kamala Harris
|
| May 11, 2022

|
Kamala Harris
|
| May 3, 2022
|
Tweet - "The U.S. Supreme Court has confirmed the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is genuine. Roe v. Wade ensures a woman's right to choose to have an abortion. It is clear that opponents of Roe want to punish women and take away their rights to make decisions about their bodies."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| May 3, 2022
|
Tweet - "The rights of all Americans are at risk in this draft opinion. If the right to privacy is weakened, every person could face a future in which the government can potentially interfere in the personal decisions you make about your life."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| May 3, 2022
|
Tweet - "If the Court overturns Roe, it will fall on our nation's elected officials at all levels of government to protect a woman's right to choose. And it will fall on voters to elect pro-choice officials this November."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 3, 2022
|
Tweet - "I believe that a woman's right to choose is fundamental. Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned. We will be ready when any ruling is issued."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 3, 2022
|
Tweet - "The draft opinion calls into question the fundamental right to privacy -- the right to make personal choices about marriage, whether to have children, and how to raise them. These are fundamental rights for Americans -- a critical part of who we are."

Kamala Harris

| Jan. 22, 2022

Tweet - "The constitutional right established in Roe v. Wade 49 years ago today is under assault as never before. We must recommit to strengthening access to reproductive care, defending the right established by Roe, and protecting the freedom of all people to build their own future."

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 2, 2021
|
Tweet - "The Supreme Court's ruling overnight is an unprecedented assault on constitutional rights under Roe v. Wade. Complete strangers will now be empowered to inject themselves in the most private of health decisions. The law does not even allow exceptions in cases of rape or incest."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 1, 2021
|
Tweet - "Texas law SB8 will significantly impair people's access to the health care they need--particularly for communities of color and individuals with low incomes. We are deeply committed to the constitutional right established in Roe v. Wade and will protect and defend that right."

Kamala Harris
|
| Sept. 1, 2021

Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 1, 2021
|
Tweet - "Texas SB8 will impair women's access to health care and, outrageously, deputizes private citizens to sue those they believe helped another person get a banned abortion. It's a blatant violation of the right established under Roe V. Wade. We will protect and defend that right."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 13, 2020
|
Tweet - "During her confirmation hearing, Justice Ginsburg said the right to choose was "essential to women's equality." We already know where Judge Barrett stands on a woman's right to choose. Her writings made it clear. It would be a disgrace to appoint her to Justice Ginsburg's seat."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| Oct. 12, 2020
|
Tweet - "Here is what's at stake with this Supreme Court nomination: Voting rights. Workers' rights. Consumers' rights. Safe and legal abortion. And so much more. We must listen to the American people and confirm a new justice after voters decide who they want in the White House."
