Vice President Kamala Harris made a historic visit to an abortion clinic in the Twin Cities Thursday, demanding "we have to be a nation that trusts women" and declaring that access to reproductive medical care has spiraled into a "health crisis."
The visit to the Planned Parenthood facility − the first ever by a president or vice president to a clinic that provides abortion services − marked the most dramatic push by President Joe Biden's reelection campaign to make access to abortion a defining issue in the 2024 election.
Harris, the nation's first female vice president, has become the White House's leading voice on restoring abortion rights after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, ending a 50-year constitutional right to an abortion and prompting several Republican-led states to pass laws limiting abortion access.
