On Tuesday, Kamala Harris voiced opposition to providing religious exemptions in any federal legislation legalizing abortion nationwide in the event that such legislation is brought to her desk as president.
The network anchor asked Harris how she would advance baby-killing legislation at the federal level if elected president and Republicans control both chambers of Congress.
Jackson followed up by again asking Harris what "Concessions" she'd be willing to make with a Republican-controlled Congress.
The NBC host specifically queried if "Religious exemptions" were "Something [Harris] would consider." "I don't think we should be making concessions when we're talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body," Harris said.
"I'm not gonna engage in hypotheticals," Harris said, adding that the issue is "Non-negotiable." As noted by Washington Examiner Senior Political Columnist Tim Carney, Harris is seemingly endorsing the weaponization of the federal government to "Force Catholic Hospitals to abort babies [and] force religious employers to cover abortion." The vice president's position is unsurprising given the Biden-Harris administration's open hostility toward and targeting of conservative Christians.
UPDATE Several Catholic groups have since criticized Harris for her position.
The Catholic Association said the vice president's remarks are "Unsurprising given her radicalism on abortion and bigotry towards people of faith." Meanwhile, CatholicVote noted how Harris' pledge is another example of the Democrat presidential nominee "Doubling down on weaponizing the government to jail pro-lifers who pray outside abortion facilities." "Why would any Christian vote for her?" the group wrote on X.
