Vice President Kamala Harris commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision by imploring Americans to work to enshrine abortion rights into law.
„For nearly 50 years, Americans relied on the rights that Roe protected,“ Harris said at a speech delivered in Tallahassee, Fla., on Sunday. „Today, however, on what would have been its 50th anniversary, we speak of the Roe decision in the past tense.“
In her speech, Harris spoke directly to the anti-abortion rights policies implemented by Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, and state officials.
After the Food and Drug Administration changed a rule to allow retail pharmacies to fill prescriptions for abortion pills, Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration reportedly sent a letter out to pharmacists telling them that dispensing the abortion pill could lead to criminal charges.
