On Thursday morning, Vice President Kamala Harris will meet with abortion providers at the White House as the Supreme Court hears a key abortion case after an omission earlier this month overturned Rowe v. Wade (1973).
Harris will speak with abortion providers live at an Eastern event at the White House on Thursday at 2 p.m., a White House official told Fox News. The Vice President will make an introductory speech, talk to suppliers and will communicate with supporters of choice in the audience.
Harris will hear stories from abortion providers operating in the states with the toughest abortion restrictions. She thanked them for fighting to protect reproductive health despite personal risk, and promised that the administration would protect women’s access to abortion, a Fox News official said.

Harris, a longtime abortion advocate, previously met with abortion providers in September 2021 to discuss the impact of Texas SB 8. As California’s attorney general, she signed several briefings to protect access to abortion.
The vice president reacted sharply when Supreme Court President John Roberts confirmed that Judge Samuel Alita’s draft of the Dobbs case on Rowe’s removal was valid. Although the bill dates back to February and is not the Court’s current or final opinion, Harris said “the rights of all Americans are at stake.”
“Caviar ensures women’s right to choose to have an abortion, “Harris said.” It also, in essence, protects the fundamental right to privacy. It is clear that opponents of Caviar want to punish women and deprive them of the right to make decisions about their bodies. Republican lawmakers across the country are using the law against women. ”

The Vice President argued that “if the right to privacy is weakened, everyone may face a future in which the government can potentially interfere in the personal decisions you make about your life. It is time to fight for women and our country with all that we have. ”
Amid protests in court and in the homes of judges, authorities have stepped up security by erecting a fence around the court and assigning security details to judges.
In December 2021, Harris predicted that “women will die” if Rowe is overthrown.
Melanie Israelan analyst with the DeVos Heritage Foundation’s Center for Religion and Civil Society accused Harris of setting women against their children.
“We should not turn women against their children – we should protect them both,” Israel told Fox News. “Abortion is not safe. It poses significant risks to women and kills hundreds of thousands of unborn children in America each year. ”
Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action, told Fox News that “Harris’s disrespect for children and their right to be born is a disgrace.”
“The lives of children are as valuable as the lives of adults, and the most pressing duty of every politician should be to ensure that our laws protect the most vulnerable,” she said. “Instead, Harris wants the law to sanction the greatest human rights violation and mass murder of children our nation has ever seen.”

States with democratic legislatures have passed laws that codify abortion in the event that Rowe is repealed. Governor Jared Polis, D-Colo., signed the law creating a “fundamental right” to abortion and denying any right to the unborn. In 2019, Governor Andrew Cuoma, DN.Y., signed a law codifying the rights to abortion and obvious removal protection against unborn children. The Connecticut Legislature has passed the bill aimed at combating restrictions on abortion in other states.

Meanwhile, states with Republican legislatures have passed laws restricting abortion, and Texas and Idaho are passing laws that allow private citizens to file civil lawsuits against those who help or support abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, at about 6 weeks gestation.
While many polls show that Americans support Rowe, an in-depth poll shows a more complex picture. When asked about their views on abortion during certain periods of pregnancy and in other situations, 71% of Americans say they support limiting abortion to the first three months of pregnancy (22%) or in other limited circumstances such as rape and incest (28%) to save the mother’s life (9%) or not save the mother’s life (12%). Only 17% of Americans said abortion should be available throughout pregnancy, and 12% said it should be limited to the first six months.
