The Democrats are focusing on reproductive rights as a primary issue. Here's what Harris has said about it
From CNN's Tami Luhby and Way Mullery
Kamala Harris took on the lead role of championing abortion rights for the administration after Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022.
In January, she started a “reproductive freedoms tour” to multiple states, including a stop in Minnesota thought to be the first by a sitting US president or vice president at an abortion clinic.
On abortion access, Harris embraced more progressive policies than Biden in the 2020 campaign, as a candidate criticizing his previous support for the Hyde Amendment, a measure that blocks federal funds from being used for most abortions.
Policy experts suggested that although Harris’ current policies on abortion and reproductive rights may not differ significantly from Biden’s, as a result of her national tour and her own focus on maternal health, she may be a stronger messenger.
