(OPINION) ETH – Pro-life and pro-abortion groups have quickly responded to the projections that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has defeated President Donald Trump to win the White House. Celebrating the news, was the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League that hailed Democratic vice presidential nominee, Sen. Kamala Harris, as a champion for abortion.
“BREAKING: @KamalaHarris just made history as the first woman, first Black woman, and first Asian American woman elected as vice president! She’s always been a champion of reproductive freedom, and we can’t wait to have her fighting for all of us. #ReproFreedomVoter,” NARAL posted on Twitter Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Alexis McGill Johnson, who is the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, also celebrated the news, responding on Twitter: With the election of @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris, America will be in the hands of leaders who are committed to advancing and expanding reproductive rights. We at @PPact are thrilled to see them elected and will be ready to work with them on day one.”
However on the Pro-Life side, National Right to Life noted in a statement to The Christian Post on Saturday that both Biden and Harris were endorsed by NARAL and Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion business in the nation. They stated: “In their release endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden, NARAL pointed out that a Biden/Harris presidency would ‘expand access’ to abortion. Biden would be the abortion president.
He has pledged to promote abortion on demand and reverse pro-life laws and policies,” National Right to Life said. “As the nation waits for final tabulations, recounts, and official certifications of vote totals, Biden has claimed that he would represent all Americans as president.
However, he and his administration would fail to protect the most vulnerable among us: the unborn child.” Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, added: “Both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris support radical abortion policies. A Biden/Harris Administration would work to roll back protective legislation such as the Hyde Amendment and try to force taxpayers to pay for abortion on demand.”
