Vice-President Kamala Harris: Rights of all Americans at risk

The US Vice-president, Kamala Harris made the following statements concerning the rights of all Americans.

“The United States Supreme Court has now confirmed that the draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade is genuine.” kamala said

‘Roe ensures a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion. It also, at its root, protects the fundamental right to privacy.’

What is clear is that opponents of Roe want to punish women and take away their rights to make decisions about their own bodies. “Republican legislators in states across the country are weaponizing the use of the law against women.” She added.

The rights of all Americans are at ‘risk. If the right to privacy is weakened, every person could face a future in which the government can potentially interfere in the personal decisions you make about your life.

“This is the time to fight for women and for our country with everything we have.” kamala said.
