Vice President Kamala Harris was in the Bay Area today to lead a discussion about abortion rights with state leaders and advocates.
Harris gathered some of the biggest names in local politics to speak out against the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and outline how that decision is playing out in different states.
"I am here today to talk with, to listen to these extraordinary Californians who are national leaders to talk about how we can continue to do what has been happening here, which is to fight for the rights of women, for all people," she said. Harris was joined by local and state leaders along with abortion rights advocates, including Senate President pro Tempore Toni Atkins, who underscored how California was moving forward on more than a dozen bills aimed at expanding access to abortion.
