I've been very clear: I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe... to 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.
Many liberals had pressured [Biden] to take that stance, noting that their legislation would be stymied if the filibuster stayed in place. Ms. Harris adopted the same position soon after.
Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia and Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, Democrats at the time, would not support such a move.
Democrats see abortion as a winning issue, however, and Ms. Harris has been consistent and outspoken in her view that Congress should pass legislation to codify abortion rights.
