Planned Parenthood Action Fund supports Kamala Harris for President

That's another endorsement for Kamala Harris.

Planned Parenthood Action Fund endorsed Kamala Harris for President at a time when several states, including Florida, will be deciding abortions rights initiative on the ballot as well.

“When Roe v. Wade was overturned, Vice President Kamala Harris stepped up to be a fearless, unapologetic champion for reproductive freedom in the midst of a public health crisis. For the past two years, she has traveled across the country, hosting nearly 100 events, to sound the alarm on the attacks against abortion rights,” the organization said.

The Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s support is the latest in Harris’ growing number of endorsements from Florida Democrats, including Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried and others.

The abortion rights group pointed to Harris’ track record as a senator supporting birth control access and blocking Senate Republicans from defunding Planned Parenthood. As part of the Biden administration, the Vice President helped “issue two executive orders on protecting and securing access to reproductive health care services in an effort to lessen the harm of the abortion crisis,” Planned Parenthood Action Fund said in a statement.

“Vice President Kamala Harris has spent her career fighting to protect access to sexual and reproductive health and is the only person running for president who will protect access to abortion,” said Laura Goodhue, Executive Director of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates.

“As states have moved to ban abortion post-Roe, she has used her time and position to lift up and listen to abortion providers, patients, and advocates, including by being the first vice president in history to visit a Planned Parenthood health center. We have the power to decide in this election what type of future we want for ourselves and for future generations.”

In Florida, voters will decide Amendment 4 to protect abortion rights in the state constitution. Currently, Florida bans abortions after six weeks.

    How could anyone, anyone at all, go to sleep at night admitting to herself that she is campaigning to be the first female president over the bloody and broken bodies of helpless infants who will never have a chance to vote for their lives?

    Good evening to all my Besty Leftys,
    I urge my Bestys to think about yourselves as we transition into 4 more years of Donald Trump making America Great Again “AGAIN”.
    Go ahead in the General Election and secertly cast your vote for Trump so you, My Beloved Leftys can secertly enjoy being on “The Winning Team”.
    TO BE CLEAR:
    You can still join your Dook 4 Brains Friends in bashing Trump for the next 4 years of Greatness …. but you will secertly be smiling on the inside knowing you are a winner.
    FURTHER MORE:
    You wont have to cut off your pervert friends and you can still rail against Trump online and keep your KoolAid dyed hair. But again you will be able to Relax Your Sphincter knowing you are; 1.) A Winner and 2.) You wont be joining your Heathen Friends in The Underworld for that Etermal Burn.
    Thank you my Beloved Besty Leftys,
    ELVIS

      Thanks ELVIS,
      I’ve been worried about that eternal burn factor, but still am young and love my leftist perv girlfriend who is a flaming leftist but has the finest poon I’ve ever had the extream pleasure of banging the stuffing out of in my entire life.
      I’ve been looking for a way out for myself. So can I actually remain registared Democrat and then when I go to vote will Trump be a choice on my ballot in the general election?
      If its true and Trump is a choice for us registared Democrats in the General or final election I am going to follow your advice. I just will need to be very carefull not to tell her how I voted.
      I’m on board. Thanks Barth

        Barth I have been working with the elections office down in Atlanta for 38 years and what that guy told you is true for the General Elections held in all 50 states and territories.
        Now in the primary elections you will only see candidates in your party as registared. In the General you have the choice of Independant, Green Party, Democrat, or Republican Party.
        They will all be on your ballot regardless of your party on your voters card.
        Historically we have party line crossers every election and it is part of what makes America the envy of the world.
        So feel free to vote your heart and no in your case I would not ever tell your girlfriend.
