Kamala Harris Decries “Healthcare Crisis” as She Visits Minnesota Abortion Clinic

HeadlineMar 15, 2024

Vice President Kamala Harris visited a Planned Parenthood clinic in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on Thursday in the first such official visit by a president or vice president. The visit was part of Harris’s “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour, as the Biden campaign seeks to capitalize on voter anger over the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. This is Vice President Harris.

Vice President Kamala Harris: “The stories abound. I have heard stories of and have met with women who had miscarriages in toilets, women who were being denied emergency care because the healthcare providers there, at an emergency room, were afraid that because of the laws in their state, that they could be criminalized, sent to prison for providing healthcare.”

We’ll have more on Kamala Harris’s historic visit, and other reproductive rights news, after headlines.
