Kamala Harris made a convenient edit when she mentioned the Declaration in her celebration of abortion yesterday:
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I’m glad to be with you. (Applause.)
And all of the coalition partners who are represented here. (Applause.) Let’s give it up for everyone. (Applause.)
So we are here together because we collectively believe and know America is a promise. America is a promise. It is a promise of freedom and liberty — not for some, but for all. (Applause.)
A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (Applause.)
Be clear. These rights were not bestowed upon us. They belong to us as Americans. (Applause.)
