Women and Unborn Babies Will Be the Losers

WASHINGTON—Today, Vice President Kamala Harris announced her selection of Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota, as her running mate for the Democratic presidential ticket.

“If elected, a Harris-Walz Administration would push for the most extreme abortion agenda policies of any administration,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are both radically pro-abortion and see the lives of precious unborn babies as disposable inconveniences.”

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are both abortion apologists who represent the most extreme pro-abortion position of the Democratic Party.

“Tim Walz has made his support of unlimited abortion a foundation of his administration,” continued Tobias. “Both Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have yet to hear of an abortion they would oppose.” 

Tim Walz supports using tax dollars to pay for abortions. He signed the repeal of Minnesota’s Positive Alternatives Act which had provided support for pregnant mothers and funding for pregnancy help centers.

Tim Walz supports a policy allowing unlimited abortion for any reason throughout pregnancy. He signed legislation to enshrine a “fundamental right” to abortion for any reason until birth in Minnesota law and invalidate existing protections like the state’s parental involvement law.

Before becoming governor, Walz represented Minnesota’s 1st congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2007-2019. During his time in Congress, Walz earned a 0% pro-life rating from National Right to Life.

“Kamala Harris’ selection of Tim Walz is in keeping with her entrenched support of unlimited abortion,” said Tobias. “Walz, like Harris, is fully entrenched in his support of abortion anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstances.”

When running for governor, Walz was endorsed by pro-abortion groups supporting unlimited abortion, including Planned Parenthood Action Fund and NARAL Pro-Choice America (now called “Reproductive Freedom for All”).

Founded in 1968, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of 50 state right-to-life, is the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots pro-life organization. NRLC works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia.
