As vice president, Kamala Harris was called the “border czar” — a task that some say was beyond her abilities. But as “the White House’s voice of unflinching support for reproductive health rights,” she has advanced a pro-abortion agenda far more passionately.

Here I do not use the word “pro-choice,” for good reason. Over a decade ago, abortion-industry groups such as Planned Parenthood publicly abandoned that slogan. They said it no longer resonated with a younger generation – which would be a surprise to the rank-and-file supporters whose favorite sign at rallies remains “My Body My Choice.”
