Unlike some Democrats, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden’s choice for running mate, isn’t neutral about religious liberty or pro-life issues: Her record shows she has aggressively opposed them both out of principle and for political gain. Religious liberty is hardly a lone conservative concept or a topic where only the political Right retains authority (it’s guaranteed by the Constitution). A look through Harris’s record as California’s attorney general and as a senator shows how she might govern on these issues alongside Biden, and it’s disturbing. She is hardly a centrist on these issues, as the media might portray her, and has actively worked against these ideals that many hold dear.

As an attorney, Harris held quite a bit of power, first as a prosecutor, then as a district attorney, and later as state attorney general, a position with incredible influence. Her record shows she didn’t exactly utilize the justice system to fight for the marginalized, discriminated, or vulnerable like she says.
