In a recent interview with Fox News' former anchorman Tucker Carlson, U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) slammed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris' radical pro-abortion stance. Harris championed abortion rights for the Biden administration after Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022. She started a "reproductive freedoms tour" to multiple states, including a stop in Minnesota thought to be the first by a sitting president or vice president at an abortion clinic back in January. During the talk, Carlson noted that "Harris is an abortion fanatic." He then asked the senator: "It's hard to understand the fanaticism, that sort of crazed, wild-eyed enthusiasm for abortion from her. What do you think that is?" According to Lee, Harris' radical pro-abortion stance "may be a product of her training, her education, her upbringing." He noted that American law schools tend to indoctrinate students with the idea that Roe v. Wade was legitimate, with very few exceptions and even that it is "fundamental" to the U.S.'s identity. (Related: In her own words: Kamala Harris' radical vision for America.) Lee then said that he also finds it "interesting" that instead of promoting abortion as something "safe, legal and rare," it is "now a sacrament" to leftists like Harris. "Women are being encouraged to share their stories now about why they're so glad they've had one. It's so awful," Lee said. Carlson agreed, adding, "It seems to me just like your conventional human sacrifice cult that every civilization has had."

Harris calls for Roe v. Wade restoration

Liberal analysts are now looking forward to having Harris as their "mouthpiece" as Biden who is Catholic, has long expressed personal misgivings about the procedure throughout his lengthy political career. Because of this, abortion rights activists were frustrated with Biden. If elected president, Harris who promised to take abortion as the focus of her campaign, "could draw a lot more attention to the issue rhetorically, though she might be limited in the policies she could pursue," said Paul Goren, a political science professor at the University of Minnesota. "Her strategy, her intention will certainly be to talk about the issue (in the campaign)," Goren said. "Whether she's able to do that consistently and effectively remains to be seen." When she was California's attorney general, Harris targeted pro-life undercover journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt after their groundbreaking reporting on the abortion industry's sale of baby body parts rocked the country in 2015. She ordered a raid on Daleiden's apartment, had his laptop stolen, and did everything she could to ensure that the undercover footage of Planned Parenthood – one of her biggest campaign donors – never saw the light of day. Alleging that her opponent Republican frontrunner and former President Donald Trump's "weakest campaign talking point" is abortion, Harris vowed to "restore reproductive freedom." Her campaign specified earlier last week that she's calling for restoring Roe v. Wade, a "landmark decision" of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States generally protected a right to have an abortion. The Harris campaign told POLITICO that the opinion that Harris expressed back in the September interview with "Face the Nation" has not changed. She wants to reinstate Roe, which she believes protected abortion until the point of fetal viability, around 22 weeks of pregnancy. "I am being precise. We need to put into law the protections of Roe v. Wade," Harris said in that interview. "And that is about going back to where we were before the Dobbs decision." Even as abortion-rights groups embrace her campaign and insist they aren't surprised by her stance, they argue that restoring Roe has always been the floor and the onus is on activists to push for policies that allow abortions later in pregnancy and a Congress willing to pass them, the news outlet reported.
