Kamala Harris: ‘Immoral’ for Gov’t to Tell Women What to Do with Their Bodies
EXCERPT:
HARRIS: “There's a state that provides for prison for life for a doctor administering care. State after state making no exception for rape or incest. You know, people know I started my career as a prosecutor. You may not know why. One of the reasons is my best friend in high school, I learned was being molested by her stepfather. So she came to live with us. And I decided at a young age, I wanted to do the work of fighting to protect women and children from harm. And the idea that these laws would make no exception even for a survivor of a violation to their body? And to tell that woman, that person, 'You don’t have a right to make a decision about what happens to your body next?' It’s immoral. And I think most of us agree. One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body."
