Her trip to Minnesota was the first time a sitting president or vice president has visited Planned Parenthood.
President Joe Biden’s administration has been committed to providing access to abortion, particularly after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, returning the right to regulate the procedure to the states. Vice President Kamala Harris visited a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Minnesota as part of her “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour, the first time a sitting president or vice president has made such an appearance.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated, “The White House continues to partner with leaders on the frontlines of protecting access to abortion—both those fighting extreme state legislation and those advancing proactive policies to protect access to reproductive health care, including for patients who are forced to travel out of state for care. The Vice President has led these efforts, traveling to 20 states and meeting with more than 250 state legislators, health care providers, and advocates in the past year.“
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the Lord to change the hearts of those in public office to value life in the womb.
- For the president and vice president to recognize the sanctity of life as given by God.
