The Kamala Principle

Kamala Harris has radically changed her positions on a wide range of issues from what they were just five years ago. And yet she says her principles haven’t changed. So what is the Kamala principle when it comes to abortion? Pulse spells it out for you using a simple acronym: KAMALA.

The K.A.M.A.L.A. Principle

Kill unwanted late term, unborn babies. The subject of late term abortions was particularly contentious in the Trump/Harris debate. When Donald Trump accused Harris of being okay with abortions in the third trimester, she smirked and dismissed his assertions with two words: “Come on,” suggesting they never occur. But they do. Over 10,000 babies are killed a year in the third trimester thanks to liberal abortion laws in some states, laws Harris wants to impose on all fifty states. Did Harris not know this? Or was she simply being less than forthright?

Allow babies who survive their abortions to die. This subject also came up in the debate. ABC even fact-checked Mr. Trump, essentially calling him a liar for suggesting that babies who survive their abortions are never killed. Mr. Trump was correct, although his use of the word, ‘executed,’ was overheated in the eyes of some. Nonetheless, babies have been left to die after surviving their abortions. We covered this story at Pulse here. Did Harris not know this? Or was she simply being less than forthright?

Make Catholic doctors and nurses perform abortions in violation of their religious-inspired principles. Harris has promoted a Medicare for All bill that would compel people of faith to perform abortions at the risk of losing their jobs. The Kamala principle has no tolerance for conscientious dissenters.

Allocate taxpayers’ money to pay for abortions. One area on which Republicans and Democrats used to agree was the Hyde Amendment, which prevented taxpayer monies from being used for abortions. Harris opposes the Amendment. She badgered Joe Biden in a 2019 debate to the point that he eventually backed down from his previous support of Hyde.

Let doctors off the hook who botch abortions and injure their patients. She has consistently opposed the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” which, among other things, “created criminal penalties for doctors who withhold medical care to babies who survive an abortion attempt.”

Assert a fundamental right to abortion at the expense of state-by-state abortion regulation. She has repeatedly said she wants to ‘codify’ Roe v Wade, which would strip away all of the hard-fought pro-life regulations imposed upon abortionists at the state level.

Less than forthright?

Many question whether Kamala Harris is being forthright in her new policy positions on other issues which are diametrically opposed to positions she boldly asserted just five years ago, and even more recent than that,  including:

• Fracking
• Building a border wall
• Medicare for all

She HAS been consistent in one area: abortion. The Kamala principle is all about reproductive death. This is one issue on which she won’t compromise.
