Biden made the announcement Tuesday, calling Harris a "fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country's finest public servants." Both have endorsed plans to enshrine effectively unlimited abortion-on-demand into federal law, which would use the federal Justice Department to tie the hands of states that try to enact even modest pro-life restrictions.

David Daleiden, head of the pro-life investigative group Center for Medical Progress, wrote that from his firsthand experience, he considered Harris the "greatest threat to First Amendment civil rights our country has ever seen":

During her time as Attorney General of California, Harris played a key role in defending Planned Parenthood over its sale of aborted baby parts (which violated multiple federal laws, according to undercover video of abortion industry personnel). Most of the footage was taken in California, yet Harris announced she would investigate CMP journalists rather than Planned Parenthood, and went on to raid Daleiden's home while accepting the abortion giant's donations for her Senate run.

Numerous pro-life organizations called on Harris to resign over the apparent conflict of interest, and Daleiden's attorneys cited leaked emails that showed Harris' office coordinating with Planned Parenthood to draft legislation to criminalize undercover investigations like CMP's.

In May, Daleiden filed a lawsuit against Harris, Planned Parenthood, and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra for a "brazen, unprecedented, and ongoing conspiracy to selectively use California's video recording laws as a political weapon to silence disfavored speech."

Many prominent pro-life figures had much to say about Harris' record, as well:

Kamala Harris has already proved that she will use any legal authority available to her to target pro-life Americans, and, in plans announced during her Presidential run, she was direct in saying she wanted more power."

"Kamala Harris has been bought and paid for by Planned Parenthood, which wields incredible political power on the left," Operation Rescue president Troy Newman said.
