Three recent statements issued by the White House declare the killing of unborn children in abortion to be “reproductive freedom”.
In a statement following the passage of the pro-abortion Issue 1 referendum in Ohio, Vice President Kamala Harris called the killing of unborn children “reproductive freedom”.
She said, “President Biden and I are working to protect reproductive freedom” and added that “extremists are pushing for a national abortion ban that would criminalize reproductive health care in every single state in our Nation.” Harris also said that Congress should “pass a bill that restores the protections of Roe v. Wade” and “when [not if] they do President Biden will sign it into law.”
In another statement, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to the decision by the Georgia Supreme Court to uphold Georgia’s six week abortion ban by declaring that the decision “stripped away the reproductive freedom of millions of women in Georgia”.

The White House also held its 25th meeting with state pro-abortion legislators to strategize on advancing access to abortion on the state level. The White House State Legislative Convening on Reproductive Rights gathered 30 legislators from 16 states “to discuss their efforts to advance proactive legislation to further safeguard reproductive rights in the upcoming 2024 legislative session.”
The official statement of the meeting declared, “Republican elected officials continue to advance extreme abortion bans in states and at the national level, legislators across the country are fighting back to protect access to reproductive health care.”
Jennifer Klein, Assistant to the President and Director of the Gender Policy Council, and Tom Perez, Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs convened the meeting and “thanked the legislators for their leadership and reaffirmed the importance of state partners in responding to attacks on reproductive freedom”.
