What: The New York Times combs through VP Kamala Harris’ record on abortion from her days as a prosecutor, finding an “unwavering conviction” that women should have full access to reproductive healthcare. The piece digs into her work fighting pregnancy “crisis centers” that often lie about health care options, and fighting a Catholic hospital network in California that stopped performing elective abortions.

Key line: “’There are many other issues where she would weigh many different perspectives and bring her pragmatic approach,’ said David Chiu, the San Francisco city attorney, who has known Ms. Harris for over 25 years. But, he continued, ‘on issues impinging on a woman’s reproductive freedoms and bodily autonomy and safety, she’s never brokered any compromise.’”
