In remarks made to the Hispanic Caucus this week, Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at pro-life laws after media reports attempted to blame the abortion pill-related deaths of two women on Georgia’s pro-life law \u2014\u00a0a claim which Live Action News and others have thoroughly<\/a> debunked<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany of these Trump abortions bans that make no exception for rape or incest, it\u2019s immoral. It\u2019s immoral,\u201d Harris said, according to a <\/span>White House transcript<\/span><\/a>. She then explained: \u201cSo, imagine if [a woman seeking an abortion] is a working woman \u2014 understand that the majority of women who seek abortion […] are mothers \u2014 understand what that means for her. So, she\u2019s got to now travel to another state. […] She has to leave her home to go to a airport, stand in a TSA line \u2014 like, think about this. […] I always say to my team, especially the young people I mentor, on any public policy, you have to ask, \u2018How is this going to affect a real person?\u2019 Ask how it would affect real people. Go through the details.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But there is one person affected the most by abortion laws who is often deliberately overlooked: the preborn child.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Laws may protect preborn children only after a certain point in gestation (20 or 24 weeks, for example). Others protect them after six weeks, or 12 weeks, or after a certain developmental marker like a detectable heartbeat. Other laws don’t protect preborn children from being killed by abortion for any reason<\/em>, at any time<\/em> \u2014 nine states plus Washington, D.C.<\/a> currently do not place any restrictions on abortion.<\/p>\n

This means that a baby in those jurisdictions can be killed by chemical starvation and explusion, suction and shredding, disarticulation and exsanguination, or by lethal injection \u2014 depending on their gestational age. Let’s take VP Harris’ advice and “go through the details” in this video below:<\/p>\n
