This is profound.” “If they are working, which most are, they’re going to have to have time from work and if they don’t have paid leave, they’re going to have to figure out how to afford it. “We will do everything within our power as an administration through the executive branch to ensure that women have access to the medication they need, and which has been by the way FDA-approved, and that they will have freedom of travel, and that that travel should be unrestricted,” Ms. Harris said. Vice President Kamala Harris said Monday that the Supreme Court’s overturning of abortion rights was “shocking,” and that the Biden administration is exploring a wide range of federal aid for women seeking to travel to states that still allow abortions.

'This opinion also says, when you read it, that abortion is not deeply rooted in our nation's history,' the vice president said.

And the way that this decision has come down has been so driven, I think, by the politics of the issue versus what should be the values that we place on freedom and liberty in our country.” “I’ll start with the babiest of the babiest of the baby steps: Open abortion clinics on federal lands in red states right now. “I just actually turned to CNN and I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it. “Do think about it in the context of the fact that they wrote this decision including concurring opinions that suggest that other rights, such as the freedom to make decisions about when you were going to start a family, the freedom and the right to make decisions about contraception, IUDs —what this is going to mean in terms of in vitro fertilization.” It’s another thing when it actually happens.”

Kamala Harris Dodges Question About Providing Legal Abortions ... (Jezebel)

Lawmakers including AOC and Elizabeth Warren have called on the administration to take this step, and the VP just shrugged it off in a CNN interview Monday.

And it’s possible Democrats win seats in the Senate but lose the House, which is why people are, again, urging executive action right now. Yes, people should absolutely vote, but 130-something days is a long time for people who are pregnant right now and don’t want to be. (The Nation’s Elie Mystal has been talking about this concept since September when the Texas six-week ban took effect.) At a rally on Friday night, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) said opening clinics on federal lands in red states would be the “babiest of the baby steps” that the administration should take “right now.” And about an hour before Harris’ interview aired, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) called on Biden to declare a medical emergency and establish abortion care on federal land, specifically national parks. Technically, restoring abortion access in red state could be possible, according to Attorney General Merrick Garland, who said in a statement on Friday that states can’t ban FDA-approved abortion pills. But we, if you count the votes, don’t appear to have the votes in the Senate. Well, there’s an election happening in 130-odd days. Advocates have called on the administration to do everything in its power to protect abortion access, including leasing federal land to abortion providers.

'Shocked' Kamala Harris is heavy on outrage over Roe reversal ... (The Independent)

Vice president isn't committing to any of the ideas pushed by progressives – but it's not clear exactly what her plan to protect women's rights entails.

Another idea that has been floated is the possibility of opening up abortion-provider facilities on federal lands, but Harris said that has not been under discussion. Merrick Garland signaled as much in a statement on Friday, per the Washington Post, stating that his department was ready to work with the FDA to ensure access to Mifepristone — the abortion pill — and that states would not be allowed to halt access to abortion counseling services. Harris said the administration would do “everything in our power” to ensure that people have access to the medication they need — which is FDA approved — as well as the freedom to travel between states to access this medication or other abortion services.

Vice President Kamala Harris gave a disastrous interview on CNN about the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

And a granddaughter of a woman.” Keep in mind that this interview was supposed to be a slam-dunk contest with only one contestant. And a daughter of a woman. I can certainly see why the Dave Portnoys of America would be perturbed by the end of Roe: young men like to sow wild oats and not have to worry about showing up for the harvest. But Harris thinks the parents of these men are the ones who should go on high alert? Harris might have guessed what she’d be asked to talk about, and she was: CNN’s Dana Bash wanted to quiz her about Roe v.

"The court actually took a constitutional right that has been recognized for half a century and took it from the women of America. That’s shocking. "You know, I thought about it as a parent.

VP Harris warns of post-Roe future: 'Everyone has something at risk' (Spectrum News NY1)

Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday gave her first sit-down interview after the Supreme Court sent the issue of abortion back to the states.

We'll go to those outer limits to make sure that we're working with Americans to get the care that they need.” A number of Harris’ former Senate colleagues have called on the administration to take more aggressive actions to protect abortion access. The Biden administration is currently not considering providing abortions on federal lands that border states which outlaw or restrict abortion, Harris also noted. And what that will mean in terms of the choices he will have,” Harris added. “If you are a parent of sons, do think about what this means for the life of your son. Health and Human Services secretary Xavier Becerra told CNN in a separate interview on Monday that the agency is going to “work with those women, work with providers to make sure that at the end of the day, women access the care they need,” but said the administration is “not going to try to speak for the states that are moving to deny women access to the kind of care that they need.”

Collins said she felt misled after she voted to confirm the justices, two of three Trump nominees who gave the court a 6-to-3 conservative majority. “When we think about it, everyone has something at risk on this,” she added.

That candidate, the governor told people, was Karen Bass." Kamala's team responded with a torrent of opposition research designed to undermine Bass and every other black woman under consideration. It's not entirely clear why Harris wants to crush her fellow Democrat's dream of making history in Los Angeles. She has been gunning for Bass since at least 2020, when Joe Biden was considering both black women as a potential running mate. Local journalist Susan Shelley suggested Harris might have been "holding meetings to suppress get-out-the-vote efforts for eternal rival Karen Bass."
