Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on the Sunday episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the most-listened-to podcast hosted by a woman, where listeners and viewers were misled on topics such as abortion, IVF, and contraception.<\/p>\n

The host, Alex Cooper, asked Harris to speak on abortion as it stands “right now” in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Laws and men’s bodies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Attempting to make the commonly used “bodily autonomy” argument in favor of killing preborn children, Cooper asked Harris if there are any laws on men’s bodies \u2014 to which Harris replied, “No, no, no, no, no. It’s \u2014 look, we are a work in progress.”<\/p>\n

The hosts of Rising<\/a> \u2014\u00a0Robby Soave, Amber Duke, and Nomiki Konst \u2014 reacted, with Soave arguing that all laws restrict what people can do with their bodies, mentioning, for example, that a person can’t “sell [their] kidney,” or do illicit drugs. The hosts also noted that men can get drafted into the military \u2014 although legislators are currently considering requiring women to register for Selective Service as well<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The language of restrictions on women’s bodies \u2014 I find it in totally bad faith to use that, because that’s what all laws are, are restrictions on what you get to do with your bodies,” said Soave.<\/p>\n

Many YouTube commenters to the podcast video seemed to agree.<\/p>\n

Single moms and abortion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Harris stated, “So, you know, on public policy, I often tell my team, ‘Look, I don’t want to hear about public policy; [it’s] a fancy kind of speech or paper. Tell me how it’ll affect a real person.’ So, let’s talk about how it affects a real person. The majority of women who receive abortion care are mothers. So if she’s in a state, and \u2014 by the way, every state in the South except for Virginia, has an abortion ban, okay?”<\/p>\n

It’s interesting that Harris discusses abortion laws in this manner, as the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute actually considers Virginia “restrictive” in its abortion laws<\/a> despite the fact that abortion isn’t restricted very late in pregnancy. Guttmacher claims that in Virginia, “Abortion is banned starting at the third trimester, [s]tate Medicaid coverage of abortion care is banned except in very limited circumstances, [p]arental consent is required for a minor’s abortion, [p]arental notice is required for a minor’s abortion, and [q]ualified health care professionals, not solely physicians, can provide abortions.”<\/p>\n

Many of the surrounding states either protect all or most preborn children, or protect them beginning around six weeks gestation. However, Virginia’s neighbor, North Carolina, allows abortion up to 12 weeks. And abortion affects a real person every single time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harris continued, “So imagine she’s in a state with an abortion ban \u2014 one out of three women are, by the way, in our country, and she’s a mom so she’s going to have to figure out… God help her if she has affordable care, God help her if she has paid leave and then she’s going to have to go to the airport, stand in a TSA line, sit on a plane next to a perfect stranger to go to a city where she’s never been to receive the care she needs. She’s going to probably have to get right back on that plane, ’cause she’s got those kids. Her best friend’s probably not with her ’cause that’s who’s taking care of the kids, to get back in that TSA line to get back on a plane, to go home.”<\/p>\n
