Vice President Kamala Harris to Launch Nationwide Abortion Rights Tour

The 'Fight for Reproductive Freedoms' tour, starting in January 2024, aims to highlight the impact of abortion bans and rally support for the restoration of Roe v. Wade.

  • Vice President Kamala Harris is set to launch a nationwide tour in January 2024 to advocate for abortion rights, starting in Wisconsin on the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
  • The tour, dubbed the 'Fight for Reproductive Freedoms', is aimed at highlighting the stories of women affected by abortion bans and calling on Congress to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade.
  • The move comes as the Biden administration seeks to make abortion a central issue in the 2024 election, following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.
  • Harris has been the administration's most vocal advocate for abortion rights since the Supreme Court's decision, holding more than 50 events in at least 16 states with lawmakers, attorneys general, activists and healthcare providers.
  • The tour is expected to underscore Harris's role in the 2024 election campaign, as she is poised to play a leading role in making abortion a major issue at the ballot box.
