In December, Vice President Kamala Harris announced her plans for a nationwide abortion tour<\/a>, part of the Biden-Harris campaign’s efforts to make abortion the top priority<\/a> for the administration. Her tour kicked off in Wisconsin, which she referred to as “ground zero<\/a>” for abortion.<\/p>\n

Harris held a rally on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, during which she referred to abortion as freedom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn America, freedom is not to be given. It is not to be bestowed. It is ours by right,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd that includes the freedom to make decisions about one\u2019s own body \u2014 not the government telling you what to do.\u201d Of course, abortion does not make decisions about just one person’s body; a preborn child is a separate, individual human being, and one person cannot exercise their own freedom by depriving that of another individual.<\/p>\n
