Vice President Harris Plans Visit to Minnesota Clinic Offering Abortion Services

Vice President Harris is scheduled to visit a health clinic in Minnesota on Thursday, where she will focus on reproductive health issues ahead of the upcoming election.

During her visit, Harris will tour the facility, speak with staff, and learn about the impact of abortion bans in other states on women in Minnesota. The clinic in the Twin Cities provides abortion services, birth control, and other preventative health care services.

This visit will reportedly be the first time a president or vice president has visited a clinic offering abortion services, highlighting the importance of reproductive health access.

Harris is expected to discuss the Biden administration’s efforts to protect reproductive rights, especially after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

Her trip to Minnesota is part of her post-State of the Union tour, where she has been advocating for abortion rights and highlighting the administration’s legislative achievements. It also aligns with her broader “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour, focusing on the critical issue of abortion rights in the upcoming election.
