    YES..................she actually did it.

    Leaves out the MOST IMPORTANT right as established by of founding document!!!

    Here it is from YouTube watch for yourself



    What a total distortion of our founding document and the principles upon which we are founded.

    Let's remember

    "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. "

    Kamala Harris omits right to 'life' when quoting Declaration of Independence in abortion speech

    Harris was speaking on the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the first since the decision was overturned


    Vice President Kamala Harris left out mentioning the right to life when quoting the Declaration of Independence on Sunday during a speech in support of abortion access.

    Harris' remarks in Tallahassee, Florida, came on the 50-year-anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade, which granted women the right to an abortion nationwide. The anniversary is the first since the decision was overturned in June 2022, allowing states to set their own abortion laws.

    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.".....

    Would you really expect anything more from Kamala?

    She's the proverbial 'airhead' if there ever was one.

    It appears she is paraphrasing, not quoting

    You know when she purposely omits this then she is covering something up and she knows it. It was pretty stupid of her to do this since she was obviously going to get called out on it.

    Hey Harris, if there is no right to life, then George Floyd didn’t have his rights taken away from him, right?

    You wonder who wrote the speech and did she even realize what had been left out. And she delivers in in such a condescending manner.

    She CITED it DIRECTLY and multiple times. Why in her "paraphrasing" would she leave out the most important of those rights. What was the purpose, what was the need to do so?

    Are you saying the video is fake or something. I think it quite something to note that our Vice President of the United States and someone who wants to be President when talking about the most important phrase on which our founding is based she has to bastardize it for political reasons leaving out our highest and most important right.

    What was the purpose, what was the need to do so?

    Oh geez will you at least read the OP which quotes her before you begin.....................................:wall:

    ""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.

    Oh well...
    Barring something completely cataclysmic and absolutely unforeseeable...
    Harris NEVER has (or had) any chance of becoming President...
    She can do and say whatever she wants...
    Anybody who doesn't like it is free to vote against her (if she ever runs again)...
    ^Problem solved...

    "The right to life is the most important of all rights, without it, all other rights are rendered meaningless"

    Even Ayn Rand, despite holding a pro-abortion position, said "The right to life is the source of all rights."

    "America... The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being, but especially the weakest and most defenseless. If you want equal justice for all and true freedom and lasting peace, then America, defend life."
    -- Pope John Paul II

    "Whenever there is a conflict between human rights and property rights, human rights must prevail." -- Abraham Lincoln

    BTW: Abortions were legal and a common practice in the US back when the DOI was written .
    Up until quickening, around 4 months.
