Harris heads to Texas to highlight abortion access
Vice President Kamala Harris was headed to Houston Friday to speak on one of her top issues — reproductive freedom.
Her campaign says she chose Texas because of the state’s restrictive abortion law – which bans abortion in almost all circumstances.
Harris will be joined, her campaign says, by women who have suffered because of lack of abortion access and related medical care.
She will also be joined by celebrities, including Beyonce and Willie Nelson.
