Harris' 'historic' visit to abortion clinic puts focus on women's rights
The Straits Times
|March 16, 2024
ST PAUL, Minnesota - United States Vice-President Kamala Harris on March 14 toured a health clinic that offers abortion services while she was in Minnesota, spotlighting growing restrictions on women's rights that Democrats believe will animate voters in November.
-
The visit, believed to be the first of a sitting president or vice-president to such a clinic, comes as US President Joe Biden highlights abortion rights as a key issue ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Ms Harris arrived for a tour at Planned Parenthood's St Paul Health Centre - Vandalia facility as some two dozen anti-abortion protesters stood in the street outside holding signs that read, among other statements: "Abortion is not healthcare." After completing a tour that was
closed to the press, Ms Harris said women in the country are undergoing "silent suffering" because of attacks on their health.
The clinic in Minnesota's capital provides a range of care, including birth control and preventive wellness services.
