During an interview with NBC News, reporter Hallie Jackson asked Harris if she would be willing to make any concessions on abortion, particularly surrounding contradiction with faith. “What concessions would be on the table? Religious exemptions for example, is that something you would consider?” Jackson asked. The vice president replied, “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we are talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body.”
“Kamala Harris admits she would deny religious exemptions — forcing Christians to kill unborn children and seemingly doubling down on weaponizing the government to jail pro-lifers for praying outside abortion facilities.” The organization asked, “Why would any Christian vote for her?”
@KamalaHarris promises ‘freedom’ but then pledges to federally steamroll Americans into taking part in abortions against their will. Docs must perform them, taxpayers must pay for them, for any reason, in all 50 states, no exceptions.
The Center for Baptist Leadership wrote on X, “Absolutely chilling: Kamala Harris says that she does not believe in religious exemptions for abortion. This means that all Christian hospitals, healthcare providers, businesses, etc., would be forced to provide/cover abortion if she got her way. It would be the end of the First Amendment and religious liberty as we know it.”
The Baptist organization added in another post, “Shockingly, there are many professed “Evangelical Christians” who openly support this.” The group continued, “Evangelicals for Harris have “traded in the cross of Christ for the transgender flag and the call to defend the unborn for the satanic sacrament of abortion.”
Executive director at the Center for Baptist Leadership William Wolfe wrote on X, “Kamala Harris comes out and says she does not believe in religious liberty exemptions for abortion. This is a five alarm fire for religious liberty in America. This would mean that all Christian and Catholic hospitals would be forced to perform abortions against their conscience and beliefs, violating their First Amendment rights.”
The Faith and Freedom Coalition wrote on X, “ONE day after she said she would not support religious exemptions for her extreme abortion policy goals, Kamala Harris says she plans to work “across the aisle” to enact abortion legislation. Day by day, Harris flip flops on critical issues that matter to the American people.”
Advancing American Freedom similarly posted, “Last night, Kamala Harris said she would not consider religious exemptions as she pursues her extreme abortion-on-demand agenda.This is just one of the many times Harris has shown complete disregard for the values and beliefs Christian Americans hold dear.”
Catholic commentator Clare Anne Ath wrote, “Kamala Harris says abortion is a “fundamental freedom.” She believes there should be no religious exemptions and all healthcare providers must perform abortions. Christians and pro-lifers everywhere should be very afraid of a Harris administration. She’s made it clear your values and religious beliefs mean nothing. She will weaponize the government and you will be prosecuted if you do not comply with her radical abortion regime.”
