Vice President Kamala Harris compared the Supreme Court ruling overturning a constitutional right to abortion to America's history of slavery, saying the U.S. 'has a history of claiming ownership over human bodies'
"Think about it: For the first time in generations, the United States Supreme Court — the highest court of our land; the former court of Thurgood Marshall — took away a constitutional right, that had been recognized, from the people of America, from the women of America," Harris said.
"And today, extremists, so-called leaders are criminalizing doctors and punishing women for making health-care decisions for themselves — personal decisions that it is her right to make in consultation with her doctor, her pastor, her priest, her rabbi, her loved ones, not her government telling her what to do," she added.
