Vice President Kamala Harris became the face of the Biden administration’s efforts to protect abortion rights after the overturning of Roe v. Wade two years ago. Earlier this year, she was the first sitting vice president to visit an abortion provider, meeting with health care workers at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Minnesota. The vice president has said she supports ending the Senate filibuster to pass federal protections for abortion, though it’s unlikely she has enough votes to do so. Harris has pledged to: Restore the federal right to abortion first established under Roe v. Wade. Protect abortion access until the fetus is viable, meaning it can survive outside the uterus, usually around 23 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.
