Vice President Kamala Harris’ abortion tour got some serious pushback after her stop at a Minnesota Planned Parenthood on Thursday.
The Minneapolis-based center was the sixth stop on the vice president’s “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour as the Biden administration focuses on abortion and reproductive “rights.”

But Harris was deluged on social media with messages from pro-life advocates who shredded her for what was being billed as a “historic first,” as she became the first sitting vice president to visit an abortion provider facility. Former White House adviser Kellyanne Conway said she was “personally offended” that Harris “flew to Minnesota on Air Force Two on taxpayer dollars.”

“Unbelievable. Today, @VP Harris will try to tell women that if they want the American Dream, they must sacrifice their own children,” the conservative Family Research Council posted on X.

The visit will undoubtedly show the smiling faces of the abortionists and a deceptively pleasant atmosphere, but they won’t show the helplessness… pic.twitter.com/bxtyAbSRsO

“The visit will undoubtedly show the smiling faces of the abortionists and a deceptively pleasant atmosphere, but they won’t show the helplessness and heartbreak each mother feels as her child is killed, and torn from her womb,” the post read. “They won’t show the tools used to literally tear a child limb from limb. They won’t show the room where the abortionist callously reconstructs the baby’s body to make sure he got all the parts. Abortion is gruesome—and it is not part of the American Dream. Even a Vice President of the United States of America can’t disguise the brutality of abortion.”
Harris blasted Republicans and blamed conservatives on the Supreme Court for taking a “constitutional right that had been recognized from the people of America – from the women of America.”

“In states around our country, extremists have proposed and passed laws that have denied women access to reproductive health care, and the stories abound,” she said. “It is only right and fair that people have access to the health care they need and that they have access to health care in an environment where they are treated with dignity and respect.”

The president of Students for Life of America, Kristan Hawkins, called out Harris in a post on X.
“This is a historic ‘first,’ in the worst possible way. VP Kamala Harris is getting a private tour of a Planned Parenthood in Minnesota today. I’d bet that they’ll show her everything except for an actual abortion,” Hawkins wrote.

She also put out a call for pro-life advocates to show up, calling Harris’s visit “shocking.”
PRO-LIFE GEN: If you’re in or near Minneapolis, join us TODAY to show we are NOT going to accept this evil or the promotion and normalization of evil.

“The first word that popped in my head was ‘gross.’ There’s a good reason why no vice president or president has publicly visited an abortion provider before,” the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America account on X reacted.
Today, VP @KamalaHarris visits a Planned Parenthood in Minnesota. She’s the first sitting VP to visit an abortion facility.
Remember that they sell abortions – and they’re only “Pro-Abortion” if that choice is abortion. https://t.co/uhcpspAgow

“Kamala Harris supports abortions up to birth. For any reason, even for healthy mothers with healthy babies. It’s who they are, and it’s no surprise she’s visiting and celebrating an unlicensed abortion center,” the National Right to Life account posted on X.

Others also flooded the social media platform with outrage and disgust over the vice president’s tour stop.
Kamala Harris campaigned today at a Minnesota abortion clinic that advertises elective abortions up to 23 weeks+5days of pregnancy.

RACHEL WEPT: In one of the most morally repugnant political actions in modern American history, @VP Kamala Harris today visited a Planned Parenthood abortion facility in St. Paul, Minnesota that kills unborn human beings for any reason up until nearly the sixth month of pregnancy…
