Vice President Kamala Harris took to the streets of Los Angeles to decry 'extremist' attacks on abortion rights during an impromptu stop at the City of Angels' Women's March on Saturday.
Ms. Harris was joined by second gentleman Douglas Emhoff for the surprise stop outside of L.A. City Hall.
“We have seen attacks on voting rights, attacks on fundamental rights to love and to marry the people that you love, attacks on the ability of people to be themselves and be proud of the people who they are,” she added. “And so this is a moment that history will show required each of us, based on our collective love of our country to stand up for, and fight for, to protect our ideals.”
Texas District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk ordered a hold last week on federal approval of mifepristone, a pharmaceutical used to terminate pregnancies. That ruling split with an opposite ruling issued nearly simultaneously by Washington state District Judge Thomas O. Rice.
