Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday urged Americans to take action as thousands of protesters demonstrated across the country against new limits to abortion rights.
LOS ANGELES -- Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday urged Americans to take action during"a critical point in our nation's history" as thousands of protesters demonstrated across the country against new limits to abortion rights making their way through the courts.
"And so this is a moment that history will show required each of us — based on our collective love of our country — to stand up, and fight for, and protect our ideals. That's what this moment is," she said Saturday, speaking to several hundred demonstrators from the steps of City Hall."When you attack the rights of women in America, you are attacking America."
Demonstrators in New York City stood behind a sign with a four-letter expletive directed at Texas, where a federal judge set off the latest salvo in the battle over abortion. They held signs urging the government to defend medication abortions. "It can be hard to get people out, because people are being bombarded with all kinds of assaults on their bodies and people are tired and poor," said Viva Ruiz, who said she helped organize the rally.
Since last year's reversal of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized the right to an abortion, more than a dozen states have effectively outlawed abortion, while additional states have moved to further tighten abortion laws. When mifepristone was initially approved, the FDA limited its use to up to seven weeks of pregnancy. It also required three in-person office visits: the first to administer mifepristone, the next to administer the second drug, misoprostol, and the third to address any complications.
