Nearly two years and several ill-fitting assignments into her vice presidency, Kamala Harris may have found her voice as the nation’s leading advocate for abortion rights. She tried out that voice Thursday in the safest of environments — her former home city of San Francisco, where abortion opponents are rarer than sunny July days. Her tone was measured as she led a roundtable discussion of two dozen state legislators and local officials, many of whom have held key roles in trying to make California a national haven for abortion-seekers. A package of 13 abortion-related bills crafted by the state’s Future of Abortion Council that was created last fall in anticipation of the fall of Roe v. Wade is moving swiftly through the Legislature, and voters are expected to support a constitutional amendment enshrining abortion rights on the November ballot. Harris spent equal time Thursday praising California for its leadership and railing on other states for their “unconscionable” moves to ban abortion without exceptions for rape or incest and criminalizing doctors and other health care providers. Last week, Indiana became the first state to ban abortion since the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision in June. Other states have banned the procedure through trigger laws that went into effect once Roe fell. To read more from Joe Garofoli, click on the link in our bio. 📸: @lsuzuki
