Abortion rights advocates see President Joe Biden’s decision to end his campaign as an opportunity to get a Democratic presidential candidate who will better message on their issue. And they say Kamala Harris is that person.
“I think we have a fighting chance to actually give abortion its due,” Lizz Winstead, founder of Abortion Access Front, an organization focused on destigmatizing the procedure, told NOTUS. “It is the one issue Democrats are owning and winning on, and whoever the candidate is will … not retreat from a strategy that centers abortion.”
Winstead added that the vice president “profoundly understands that abortion is about fundamental human rights, that it’s a community good and that the conversation around abortion needs to be broadened.”
