HARRIS PLAN “Pro Choice”

GENERAL

Supports a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body and not have the government tell her what to do. When Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom for ALL women in the United States, she will sign it into law.

She also supports LGBQT+

ABORTION RIGHTS

Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago, Biden and Harris have emphasized the need to restore nationwide abortion rights. The goal, they say, is to pass legislation if Democrats retake full control of Congress.

However, Harris and Biden don’t always approach the issue in the same way. As a lifelong Catholic who initially felt that Roe v. Wade went too far, Biden rarely uses the word “abortion” and prefers to talk in terms of protecting people from government intrusion into their lives.

Harris speaks much more bluntly about the topic, and she visited a Planned Parenthood clinic in Minnesota earlier this year. The battle for abortion rights is expected to be a centerpiece of her campaign for the presidency. She has called on Congress to pass legislation protecting reproductive rights, including abortion access, but has also worked to shield them on the state level amid congressional dysfunction and gridlock.

Reproductive Health

Democrats are committed to protecting and advancing reproductive health, rights, and justice. We believe unequivocally, like the majority of Americans, that every woman should be able to access high-quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion.

Fight Barriers to Reproductive Rights

Democrats oppose and will fight to overturn federal and state laws that create barriers to reproductive health and rights. We will repeal the Hyde Amendment, and protect and codify the right to reproductive freedom. We condemn acts of violence, harassment, and intimidation of reproductive health providers, patients, and staff.

Protecting and Promoting Maternal Health

We will support comprehensive solutions to address every dimension of the Black maternal health crisis in America and eliminate all racial and ethnic disparities in maternal health outcomes, and support policies and approaches that will at least halve our nation’s unacceptably high maternal mortality rate. We strongly and unequivocally support the decision to have a child, including by ensuring a safe and healthy pregnancy and childbirth, and by providing services during pregnancy and after the birth of a child, including adoption and social support services, as well as protections against pregnancy discrimination. We are committed to creating a society where children are safe and can thrive physically, emotionally, educationally, and spiritually.

Protecting LGBTQ+ Health

We condemn actions against the LGBTQ+ community, including the dangerous and unethical regulations allowing doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies to discriminate against patients based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Democrats will reverse this rule making and restore nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV/AIDS in health insurance, including coverage of all medically necessary care for gender transition. We will also take action to guarantee that LGBTQ+ people and those living with HIV/AIDS have full access to needed health care and resources, including by requiring that federal health plans provide coverage for HIV/AIDS testing and treatment and HIV prevention medications like PrEP and PEP, gender confirmation surgery, and hormone therapy.
