Kamala Harris omits right to 'life' when quoting Declaration of Independence in abortion speech
Fox News
Vice President Kamala Harris left out including the right to life when quoting the Declaration of Independence during remarks about abortion access.
But in Harris' speech, she quoted the Declaration of Independence in saying that Americans are entitled to the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, notably ignoring how that the phrase also states Americans are granted the right to life.
"We collectively believe and know, America is a promise … It is a promise of freedom and liberty," Harris said. "Not just some, but for all. A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence, that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Be clear, these rights were not bestowed upon us, they belong to us as Americans."
