Reproductive Freedom for All Responds to Results of Presidential Race and Thanks VP Harris for Her Commitment to Reproductive Freedom
Washington, DC — Today, Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the race for the presidency. Trump’s election comes against the backdrop of an urgent abortion access crisis as Republicans’ abortion bans continue to endanger lives and families in more than 20 states—even as horrific accounts of the dangerous ramifications continue to come to light. Not only have countless women spoken of the horrific life-threatening situations they were forced to endure because of bans, but some like Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller lost their lives.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“This result is devastating. There has been no greater champion for reproductive freedom than Vice President Kamala Harris, and we are grateful for her leadership and partnership in our fight. The fight for reproductive freedom was never going to be won or lost in one race, and our work to protect our fundamental rights and democracy is more important than ever. We know the American people are with us, and they showed us that when they passed ballot measures and elected candidates in key states to protect their rights. We’ll be mobilizing the full force of our more than 4 million members nationwide to stop Trump and MAGA Republicans from banning all abortion and further eviscerating our rights.
Vice President Harris has been an unequivocal champion for abortion rights and access throughout her career. From serving as vice president in the most pro-reproductive freedom administration in U.S. history to cosponsoring legislation in Congress as a U.S. senator to protect and expand abortion rights and access to traveling the country to shine a light on the impact of Trump’s abortion bans, Vice President Harris has always put the fight for reproductive freedom front and center.
