Last week, Sen. Kamala Harris was asked by National Public Radio (NPR) about her position on the death penalty. She is against it. When pushed further, she stuck to her guns.
NPR: "For any crime?"
Harris: "Correct."
NPR: "Not even, I don't know, treason?"
Harris: "Not in the United States, no."
NPR: "There's nothing that rises to that level?"
Harris: "Not in the United States, no."
Last year, Harris addressed the issue of aborting a child right up until birth. Here is what she tweeted on January 29, 2018:
"Tonight, the Senate is voting on whether to impose a 20-week abortion ban. Women have the constitutional right to make their own decisions about their reproductive health. It shouldn't be infringed upon. Get out your bullhorns. Everyone should be shouting about this."
There we have it. Harris says that those who endanger the safety of all Americans by attempting a violent overthrow of the government, or spying on the military for a foreign enemy, should have their lives spared, but innocent children who are moments from being born are not entitled to have their lives spared.
Harris is a declared candidate for president of the United States.
