Vice President Kamala Harris Embarks on Nationwide Tour to Fight for Abortion Rights

The tour, part of the Biden administration's campaign to restore Roe v. Wade protections, highlights the harm caused by extreme abortion bans in states across the country.

  • Vice President Kamala Harris is on a nationwide 'Fight for Reproductive Freedoms' tour, visiting states affected by the overturning of Roe v. Wade to highlight the harm caused by extreme abortion bans.
  • The first stop of the tour was in Wisconsin, where abortion was virtually inaccessible for 15 months following the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
  • Harris has also visited California, where she applauded the state for having some of the nation's strongest abortion access protections but rallied voters to remain vigilant and take the issue seriously in congressional races in November.
  • The vice president's tour is part of a wider effort by the Biden administration and campaign to make restoring the protections of Roe the centerpiece of the party's message to voters this fall.
  • The full list of tour stops has not yet been released, but the vice president will also visit states that have worked to protect abortion access to highlight how it can be accomplished.
