Kamala Harris: ‘The Right of Women to Make Decisions About Their Own Bodies Is Not Negotiable’

EXCERPT:

HARRIS: "So I want to thank you all for being here today. We are going to have a robust and a candid conversation about what’s going on in our country, and in particular what just recently happened in Texas. But I will repeat what I know that you all know. The President and I are unequivocal in our support for Roe V. Wade and the constitutionality of Roe V. Wade and the right of women to make decisions for themselves, with whomever they choose, about their own bodies. And needless to say, the right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is not negotiable. The right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is their decision. It is their body. And no legislative institution has the right to circumvent the Constitution of the United States in an attempt to interfere with, much less to prevent a woman to make those decisions. So we will have a conversation about how what is happening in Texas is affecting women in Texas. But as we know, it's not only Texas where this is happening. We're going to talk about Mississippi, we're going to talk about New Mexico, we’re gonna talk about United States and what we must do collectively, all of us, to protect the women of our country and protect their constitutional rights."
