Vice President Kamala Harris taped an interview with Face the Nation in Jakarta that was broadcast on Sunday. She covered a number of subjects, but abortion dominated a major portion of the interview. Harris made it clear that the Biden administration wants Congress to pass a federal law allowing unrestricted abortion.
The host, Margaret Brennan, pressed Vice President Harris with a simple question, "What week of pregnancy should abortion access be cut off?" Harris refused to answer this simple question.
Brennan pressed her again. She told Harris, "Republicans say the lack of a precise date in cutting it [abortion] off — you know this — they say that allows … abortions up until … birth." Harris called that "ridiculous" and a "mischaracterization of the point," but repeatedly refused to be more specific.
It is too bad that journalist Brennan didn't do a little more research before the interview. The fact is that the laws and referenda being passed in pro-abortion states permit abortion at any time for any reason. The federal law pending in Congress, supported by the Biden administration, would do the same thing. But neither Vice President Harris nor President Biden can say that clearly because the public finds late-term abortion to be repugnant. Only 19% favor abortion after the sixth month of pregnancy.
In addition, the major pro-abortion lobbying groups, including Planned Parenthood, would go berserk if the administration supported any law limiting abortion to only the early months of pregnancy. Their whole strategy is to make pro-life Americans look like extremists without exposing the extremism of their position—abortion on demand for any and all reasons.
