"Every woman deserves safe, affordable access to comprehensive reproductive health care — including abortion." @KamalaHarris Jan 27, 2017 // "As the Attorney General of California, Harris actively targeted the pro-life journalists who investigated Planned Parenthood and exposed its leadership negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted fetal body parts." The Federalist, August 12, 2020 // ”California Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris is drawing fire from supporters of an anti-abortion activist whose undercover videos and identity cards were seized by the state Department of Justice this week after Harris’ political campaign sought to drum up support for Planned Parenthood." Los Angeles Times, April 7, 2016

Voted 'No' on Senator Rand Paul's Amendment SA 3967 which would prohibit Federal funds being made available to a prohibited entity that performs, or provides any funds to any other entity that performs abortions.

Georgia’s Republican-controlled legislature passed an extreme ban on abortion before many women even know they’re pregnant. Georgia women deserve leadership that will protect and expand their reproductive health care, not undermine their access.

Voted 'No' on S. 3275 (Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act) A bill to protect pain-capable unborn children, and for other purposes. Voted 'No' on S. 311 (Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act )A bill to prohibit a health care practitioner from failing to exercise the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.

“We applaud Reps. Kennedy and Scott and Sen. Harris for continuing to champion this much-needed legislation, which protects the true meaning of religious freedom – everyone’s right to believe or not as they see fit, as long as it doesn’t harm others.”

"Kamala Harris, the California attorney general and Democratic partisan who wishes to replace Barbara Boxer in the Senate...is demanding from the AFP Foundation a list of its donors." // "A Virginia-based conservative group filed a federal First Amendment lawsuit this week accusing California Attorney General Kamala Harris of engaging in the kind of activity that was the subject of the recent scandal involving the Internal Revenue Service." // "Attorney General Kamala D. Harris Files Amicus Brief in U.S. Supreme Court Supporting Access to Comprehensive Healthcare for Women" § "Attorney General Harris’ brief, co-authored by Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, urges the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Kathleen Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. that held that for-profit businesses may exercise religion and therefore are covered by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993." Press Release, Office of California Attorney General Kamala D. Harris, Tuesday, January 28, 2014 // “Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman’s right to choose when you joined the organization?” “Have you ever, in any way, assisted with or contributed to advocacy against women’s reproductive rights?” “Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed marriage equality when you joined the organization?” Senator Kamala Harris to judicial nominee, Brian Buescher, Questions for the Record December 5, 2018 § "...they [Sen. Harris and Sen. Hirono] appear to have leapt to the conclusion that because Buescher is affiliated with a certain religious organization, he is incapable of being impartial. That is a religious test. The line of questioning Buescher faced about his affiliation with the Knights of Columbus sets a troubling precedent of intolerance — one that is unconscionable in principle and terrible in practice for people of all faiths who seek a role in public service."

"A living wage and justice for workers are on the ballot in 2020."

Trump’s border wall would be an absolute waste of taxpayer money. I won’t support it.

"Every single day that we don’t pass the DREAM Act, is another day these young people have to live in fear."

As president, she’ll close private immigrant detention centers, increase oversight of agencies like Customs and Border Protection, and focus enforcement on increasing public safety, not on tearing apart immigrant families.

"Teachers don’t need a gun. They need a raise."

“We need reasonable gun safety laws in this country starting with universal background checks and a renewal of the assault weapon ban. Upon being elected, I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws. And if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action, and, specifically what I will do, is put in place a requirement that for anyone who sells more than five guns per year, they are required to do background checks when they sell those guns. I will require that for any gun dealer that breaks the law the ATF take their license.” Kamala Harris, CNN Town Hall, April 22, 2019 // In response to the debate moderator's question about the use of Executive Orders to ban assault weapons: "The idea that we would wait for this Congress which has just done nothing to act..."

"I support that we should study it. We should study it and see. ... This is very real and it needs to be studied."

"I'm open to the discussion," Harris said in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel. "I mean, there's no question that the popular vote has been diminished in terms of making the final decision about who's the president of the United States and we need to deal with that."

The Do No Harm Act would ensure that no one can use the law to discriminate against someone because of race, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity. It’s vital we protect the civil rights of all Americans.
