Speaking in Tallahassee, Florida about abortion, Roe v. Wade, and what she sees as the right to kill babies in the womb, Vice President Kamala Harris conveniently left out the “right to life” when speaking about the fundamental rights we have as Americans as described in the Declaration of Independence, obviously doing so because the right to life would include the right to not be murdered in the womb.
She did so when attempting to quote the Declaration of Independence but leaving out the bits about our “Creator” and the “right to life”, as both of those are big no-no phrases in the Democrat lexicon now. Here’s what she said:
So we are here together because we collectively believe and know America is a promise. America is a promise. It is a promise of freedom and liberty — not for some, but for all.
A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Be clear. These rights were not bestowed upon us. They belong to us as Americans.
The actual line from the Declaration of Independence is “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
So Kamala’s quotation very clearly left out both God and the right to life, probably because the crowd would have been less than happy with her had she brought either of those things up in her pro-abortion speech.
She then went on to try and connect the “right” to abort a baby with the Civil Rights Movement and Civil War, saying:
“And it is that freedom and liberty that enabled generations of Americans to chart their own course and decide their own future with, yes, ambition and aspiration. Therein lies the strength of our nation.
“And since our founding, we have then been on a march forward to fully realize our promise to complete the unfinished work to secure freedom and liberty for all.
“Now, these outcomes will not be inevitable. They will not just happen. It takes steadfast determination and dedication. The kind of determination and dedication possessed by some of our greatest patriots: those Americans who fought a Civil War to end the sin of slavery — who organized at Seneca Falls to secure a woman’s right to vote — who launched the Freedom Rides to advance civil rights — (applause) — and spoke out at the Stonewall Inn to defend human rights.”
She did completely make up a freedom Americans are supposedly granted, however, saying that abortion is
The right of every woman in every state in this country to make decisions about her own body is on the line. And I’ve said it before, and I will say it again: How dare they? How dare they?
And, you know, there is a collection of words — there is a collection of words that mean everything to us as Americans: the heartfelt words of our great National Anthem. That America is the land of the free and the home of the brave.
But let us ask, can we truly be free if a woman cannot make decisions about her own body?
Playing to the crowd, she also asked “Can we truly be free if a doctor cannot care for her patients?” and “Can we truly be free if families cannot make intimate decisions about the course of their own lives?”
She then went on to claim that abortion was “the very foundations of freedom,” telling the crowd: “And can we truly be free if so-called leaders claim to be, quote — I quote, “on the vanguard of freedom,” while they dare to restrict the rights of the American people and attack the very foundations of freedom.”
She also ridiculously claimed that a Christian doesn’t have to give up his or her faith to support abortion, saying “In essence, they said, one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree that the government should not be telling people what to do with their own bodies.”
