Pro-life advocates re-energized by Kamala Harris, whom they can label 'extremist' after GOP snub.
SBA memo: Harris is so dedicated to abortion that she can't focus on anything else.
Pro-life advocates are re-energized by the Democrats' new likely nominee-to-be, who they feel they can successfully paint as an "extremist" on the issue of abortion.
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the politics of abortion have shifted, with Democrats using the opportunity to criticize former President Trump and his supporters for the decision and arguing that a vote for a Democrat would help restore some form of abortion access.
In order to attract a wider audience, the RNC modified its language in the GOP platform prior to the Republican National Convention, eliminating references to a nationwide abortion ban.
Despite changes to the GOP platform, pro-life groups remained supportive of the Trump ticket, believing a Republican administration would be best for their cause of protecting unborn babies and pregnant mothers.
A new memo obtained by Planet Chronicle Digital shows that pro-life advocates are planning to unite on a new goal - portraying Harris as an "abortion extremist" who cannot specify any restrictions on abortion she supports.
SBA Pro-Life America claims in a memo sent Tuesday to GOP candidates, leadership, and officeholders that Kamala Harris' presence as the top of the ticket has intensified the expectation of abortion being a major issue in the 2024 elections.
The memo highlights the contrast between President Biden, an Irish Catholic who has historically supported some restrictions on abortion, and Vice President Harris, who has been vocal in support of unrestricted access to abortion.
The memo states that Harris is so dedicated to abortion that she can only focus on it and disregards the developmental stages of children before birth and the real needs of women.
The memo highlights that Sen. Harris voted against a 20-week abortion limit with exceptions, stating that it was an "immoral" bill despite science showing that unborn babies can feel pain at that point.
The memo notes that she has twice voted against providing medical care for babies who survive an abortion attempt.
The memo mentions Harris' support for legislation during her time as California attorney general, which required pregnancy resource centers to advertise for abortion clinics. This law was later deemed unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 2022, Harris advocated for the closure of pregnancy resource centers, which offer free medical care, formula, diapers, and other necessities instead of abortions.
Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life, stated in a post on X on Monday that pro-life activists across the country are more emboldened than ever to rally and educate Americans about Joe Biden's radical record on abortion.
Grassroots pro-life activists expressed disappointment and concern over the GOP Platform changes, but with Kamala Harris as the leader, there is renewed enthusiasm among pro-lifers to fight for the unborn this election cycle, according to a Republican pro-life activist who spoke to Planet Chronicle Digital.
The source stated that Harris is a staunch supporter of Big Abortion and even voted against legislation that would provide healthcare to babies born alive from failed abortions, thus making it easier to portray her as an extremist.
Another pro-life activist stated to Fox that with Harris as the new presidential candidate, it "will compel Trump and JD Vance to intensify their stance on this issue" to "illustrate to moderates the true nature of Kamala's stance on abortion - on-demand and without restriction."
