Kamala Harris wants abortions up to birth across America and she supports eliminating the Senate filibuster to do it.
“I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe,” Harris told the radio station in an interview that aired Tuesday.
Harris said “51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body and not have their government tell them what to do.”
Democrats are making their extreme pro-abortion agenda crystal clear. They are telling voters that, if they keep control of the Senate, they will kill the filibuster in the Senate so they can legalize abortions up to birth nationwide.

This is a stark reminder to every pro-life voter in America that pro-life Republicans must win Congress and Joe Biden can’t be re-elected.
CatholicVote reacted to the news on X, stating, “Harris’ pledge to go nuclear and blow up the filibuster represents the greatest threat to democracy in this election. She will stop at nothing to impose unlimited, extreme abortion everywhere, overthrowing the votes and majority in nearly every state… And why stop at abortion? Every left-wing legislative dream would soon follow, including packing the Supreme Court… Kamala Harris just put every Bernie Sanders socialist scheme on the ballot. Legislative guardrails have protected the country for over a century. Without the filibuster, an already deeply divided country will descend into division and chaos. She must be stopped.”
Senate rules require 60 votes to end debate over a bill, effectively making it the minimum number of votes needed to pass legislation, but ending the filibuster would allow radical pro-abortion bills to be approved on a majority vote.
Radically pro-abortion former Speaker Nancy Pelosi has already said Democrats will do this if they win Congress.
In an interview earleir this year on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” Pelosi falsely claimed “People have to view abortion as a democracy issue. This is about freedom to make your own decisions for a woman. It’s a personal decision, it’s an economic decision at the kitchen table of America’s families, if and when they could expand their families or even start their families.”
Tur asked, “Do you think it’s going to be a more powerful issue at the ballot box this time around?”
Pelosi said, “Well, it is because the fact is that no matter what he says, there will be a national abortion ban, and that would be horrible for our country.”
“We have to win it all. We have to win the White House, with our great president of the United States, Joe Biden, who has a vision for America that is in keeping with the vision of our founders, the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform, the aspirations of our children and their families,” she responded.
Tur asked, “If President Biden gets reelected and there’s a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate, what can President Biden do to protect abortion nationwide?”
“We can enshrine into the law Roe v. Wade,” she responded.
Tur said, “That would take two-thirds in the Senate.”
She then laid out the radical abortion agenda: “No it doesn’t. It’s 60 votes is the Senate now but if we win 50-plus-1 in the Senate, 50 plus the vice president, we can overturn the 60-vote rule.”
Tur said, “The filibuster.”
Pelosi confirmed: “The filibuster and pass it with a 51-vote margin. That’s what we need to do.”
Responding to her comments, SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser told LifeNews, “Biden-Pelosi Democrats will stop at nothing to force abortion on demand any time for any reason, in every state in America – with no exceptions even for brutal second and third trimester abortions when babies can feel pain. They will scrap every rule such as the filibuster that stands in their way and weaponize the full force of the federal government to promote their abortion agenda.”
She said Democrats would go even further and overturn every pro-life law in America.
“Democrats like Pelosi are being up front about their goals, and they are nothing if not ambitious. What they won’t tell America is that their deceptively named ‘Women’s Health Protection Act’ is far more sweeping than Roe v. Wade and would overturn parental rights, informed consent, health and safety standards, late-term abortion limits, and more – a truth the voters are only supposed to discover after it’s too late.
