OPINION:
Over the last week, we have seen a tidal wave of glowing mainstream media coverage of Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Kamala Harris. There’s been a rush among reporters to coronate her and make her palatable to independents and moderates across America. But in their giddy effort to do anything other than actual journalism, they’ve completely shielded the public from the most glaring part of Mrs. Harris’ record – that she is one of the most radical politicians to date.
Don’t believe me? Just ask GovTrack. They cited that in 2019, then Sen. Kamala Harris was the MOST Leftist senator in the country. Even more to the Left than Democratic Socialist, Bernie Sanders. What a feat.

And when it comes to extremism, there is no clearer image of that than her record on abortion. Where President Joe Biden was extreme in action, in rhetoric, he avoided saying the word abortion. But with Mrs. Harris as president, this country will officially close the chapter on Democrats’ stance of “all abortions are tragic.” And will cement a new Democrat stance on abortion. They will officially become the “Shout Your Abortion” party.
As Tucker Carlson said this week, “[Kamala Harris] is an abortion fanatic…it’s hard to understand the fanaticism, that sort of crazed, wild-eyed enthusiasm for abortion from her.”
To truly understand that fanaticism let’s look at the top five most radical abortion actions Mrs. Harris has championed to date.

1. Kamala Harris refuses to name any limits on abortion that she supports.
Mrs. Harris continues to gaslight the American people by saying all she wants to do is “bring Roe v. Wade back” but, when asked repeatedly what that means to her and what, if any, protections should be there for babies in the womb … she can’t list a single one. Listen to her dodge this question for four minutes on CBS, when the reporter hounds her to pick a single week where babies are allowed the right to live. Even when a reporter asked if she’d support a 20 to 24-week limit. Kamala shook her head and said, “No, no, no.“ She wouldn’t even commit to a seven- or either-month limit.
1️⃣ Harris refuses to name a single limit on abortion she supports. Even when a reporter asked if she was okay with Roe being interpreted as a 20-24-week limit, she said, “No, no, no.“

Not at 37 weeks or 38 or 39 – or even 40.

And there’s a reason for that as seen in our No. 2 most radical abortion action.
2. Mrs. Harris co-sponsored legislation that federally forces all-trimester abortions on all 50 states.

The so-called Women’s Health Protection Act is so radical, even members of the Democrat party said it would go much further than Roe. And then they opposed it. This is the legislation that Democrats continue to try and shove through Congress to make the law of the land. And Mrs. Harris was an early sponsor and originator of it. It would not only bypass the will of the voters in each state and strip all pro-life states of their protections for babies in the womb but it would mandate all-trimester abortion laws in each state. It would take away informed consent laws for people seeking abortions and would get rid of parental consent for parents of minors seeking abortions. These are just a few of the shocking laws Mrs. Harris’ WHPA would federally force all states to do. And speaking of laws…
3. While in Congress, she repeatedly voted against protecting babies when they can feel pain AND babies born alive after failed abortions.
Mrs. Harris’ congressional record showed that she voted twice against a limit on abortions at 20 weeks, well after science shows unborn babies can feel pain. She didn’t stop there, she made sure to say that granting babies the right to live at five months, is “immoral.” As if that wasn’t bad enough, she also voted twice against providing any kind of medical care for babies who survive an abortion. If it were up to Mrs. Harris, nationwide survivors like those from the Abortion Survivors Network, would not be granted a second chance at life.
4. She is the first vice president to visit (and campaign) at an abortion center.
There’s a reason presidential and vice-presidential candidates have avoided visiting centers that abort babies. Democrats used to say that all abortions were tragic. But today, Mrs. Harris has decided to celebrate it by campaigning at an abortion facility. An unprecedented act that casts a spotlight on the misery of women and their children.
5. She prosecutes pro-life Americans and shuts down pregnancy centers.
For all her talk about “freedom,” Mrs. Harris is doing her level best to squelch any dissent to abortion, whether that be free speech, investigative reporting, whistleblowers or centers trying to provide alternatives to abortion for mothers in need.
When brave citizen journalists exposed Planned Parenthood’s role in the selling of baby body parts, she swiftly prosecuted the whistleblowers, instead of the abortion businesses illegally selling baby organs.
And as California attorney general, Mrs. Harris also backed legislation to shut down pregnancy centers that provide real support for women and families. Why did she push to shut them down? Because according to her, they needed to refer women to abortions. Thankfully, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down that action as unconstitutional. But that hasn’t stopped her targeting. Today, Mrs. Harris praises efforts to shut down pregnancy centers. And under the Biden-Harris administration, the targeting of pro-life Americans has only escalated as the DOJ throws nonviolent pro-life activists in prison for years.
Kamala Harris’ record on abortion shows us a politician who is not only radical on the act but one who celebrates it. Where Joe Biden could barely say the word “abortion,” Kamala Harris shouts it from the rooftops. If president, Mrs. Harris has already promised to take a whole government approach to forcing states to institute late-term abortion all while we, the taxpayers, fund it.
And make no mistake, she intends to make good on her promise of federally pushing abortion in America.
