Vice President Harris: Many of you know I was a prosecutor. You may not know one of the reasons why. When I was in high school, I learned that my best friend was being molested by her stepfather. And when I learned, I said to her, “You have to come live with us.” I called up my mother, and my mother said, “Of course she does.” And she came and she lived with us.So I decided at a young age I wanted to take on what I could do to protect women and children against violence. The idea that these so-called leaders would be passing laws that make no exception for rape and incest—that are essentially telling a survivor of a crime of violence to her body, a violation of her body, that she has no right to make a decision about what happens to her body next. That’s immoral, and that’s what’s happening in our country right now. You look at the taking of fundamental freedoms and rights. In Georgia, they passed a law to make it more difficult for people to have freedom to access the ballot. They passed a law that makes it illegal to essentially give people food and water for standing in line to vote. The hypocrisy abounds. What happened to “Love thy neighbor”? Look at what they’re doing. And all of this is at stake.
