FACT CHECK: Walz, Harris Are Abortion Extremists
October 01, 2024
Timothy Walz and Kamala Harris support unrestricted abortion-on-demand until birth and even after birth — radical views out of step with most Americans
Walz has an extensive record of abortion extremism:
- As governor, Walz legalized unrestricted abortion-on-demand until birth in Minnesota — “the most extreme abortion laws in the country.”
- Walz signed legislation that eliminated informed consent, repealed a requirement that abortions be performed by physicians, repealed provisions to prevent coerced abortions, and allowed minors to obtain abortions without parental consent.
- Walz signed legislation that removed a requirement to provide lifesaving care to babies born alive following botched abortions and dramatically weakened the state’s abortion data reporting requirements.
- Walz signed legislation that repealed funding for pregnancy resource centers, which provided care and guidance for pregnant women and their unborn children.
- Walz bragged about Minnesota being the “first state” to codify abortion-on-demand without limits.
- Under Walz, eight babies survived abortion attempts in Minnesota — all of whom subsequently died after little or no lifesaving care was provided.
- Walz signed legislation that eliminated informed consent, repealed a requirement that abortions be performed by physicians, repealed provisions to prevent coerced abortions, and allowed minors to obtain abortions without parental consent.
- In Congress, Walz repeatedly opposed requiring lifesaving care for babies born following botched abortions, repeatedly voted against barring taxpayer dollars being used to fund abortion-on-demand, voted three times against prohibiting late-term abortions, and voted against criminal penalties for performing sex-selective abortions.
- Walz once said he was so pro-abortion that Nancy Pelosi asked him if he should “tone it down.”
- Walz once said he was so pro-abortion that Nancy Pelosi asked him if he should “tone it down.”
- Walz’s position is echoed by Kamala, who couldn’t name a single limit she supports on abortion-on-demand.
The Harris-Walz position is grossly out of step with the American people:
- Nearly three quarters of Americans OPPOSE abortion after 15 weeks, while just ten percent believe there should be no limits.
- More Americans support protecting unborn babies at 15 weeks than oppose restrictions – including majorities of Democrats, independents, and women.
Meanwhile, President Trump supports the rights of individual states to make that decision for themselves.
