A prominent pro-life group is warning Republicans about the “extreme” abortion platform of the Democratic presidential ticket, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA) sent a memo, obtained by the DCNF, to GOP candidates, leadership and state leaders about Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who have a record of supporting unlimited abortion and voting against life-saving legislation.

“Harris & Walz support NO limits on abortion and want to impose this extreme position on all 50 states…even painful late-term abortions in the 7th, 8th, and 9th month of pregnancy,” SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. “Harris is so committed to abortion that she can’t see anything else – including the developmental stages of children before birth or the real needs of women.”

The memo warns of Harris’ support of the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would federally legalize abortion through all nine months. Harris co-sponsored the bill as a senator in 2018 and presided over the legislation as vice president.

“It would wipe away nearly ALL limits on abortion, even limits allowed under the Roe v. Wade regime,” the memo warns. Harris previously voted against legislation limiting abortion at 20 weeks.

As Minnesota governor, Walz overwrote the state’s 24-week abortion limit, allowing abortion through all nine months, SBA said. (RELATED: Tim Walz Turned His State Into A Destination For Late-Term Abortions)

The pro-life organization also points to a 2023 CBS News Face the Nation interview in which Harris refused to name a single limitation on abortion that she would support.

“I believe that we should put the protections of Roe v. Wade into law, and the way that will happen is if we have a United States Congress, who regardless of their personal view for themselves or their family, would agree that the women of America should be trusted to make decisions about their life and their body based on what they know to be in their best interest. It’s that simple,” Harris said when pressed about implementing a cutoff after a certain week of pregnancy.

During her time as California senator, Harris voted twice against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would have required doctors to provide babies that survive abortion attempts with medical care, the memo notes. She similarly voted against the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act which sought to ban abortions once the baby was capable of feeling pain, or around week 20 of pregnancy.

Walz similarly signed legislation in Minnesota that repealed protections for babies born alive after abortion attempts and removed mandatory reporting of such incidents, the memo stated.

SBA recalled a 2017 incident in which a woman alleged that a Minnesota Planned Parenthood told her: “We don’t tell women this, and a lot of women don’t even ask this question, but if [the doctor] was to proceed with the abortion and the baby was to come out still alive and active, most likely we would break the baby’s neck.”

The memo also mentions Harris’ support of the California Reproductive Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care, and Transparency Act (FACT Act) in 2015, which forced all clinics that primarily serve pregnant women to provide abortion resources and notify women that the state provides free or no-cost abortions. The law was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2018 for violating the First Amendment.

Harris went on to praise Democratic attorneys general who sought to shut down pregnancy recourse centers that do not provide abortions, the memo said.

Under Walz’s direction, Minnesota repealed a law preventing women from being coerced into getting abortions and removed a requirement for providers to receive consent from the patient before performing an abortion, SBA said. Walz also eliminated a program that brought over $3 million to crisis pregnancy centers.

A 2023 study cited in the memo revealed that 70% of women seeking abortions were coerced, and 60% of the women said they would have preferred to proceed with the pregnancy if they had better support, according to the Charlotte Lozier Institute.

Harris and Walz have both supported efforts to fund abortion through taxpayers, with Harris advocating for the end of a provision that prevents such funding through Medicare and Walz increasing taxpayer funding for Medicare-sponsored abortions.

SBA also points out Kamala’s role in protecting Planned Parenthood by prosecuting the whistleblowers that exposed the clinic for reportedly selling aborted baby parts as California attorney general.

SBA’s memo concludes by stating that the pair have consistently celebrated abortion, with Harris becoming the first sitting vice president to campaign at an abortion clinic in March 2024, accompanied by Walz.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
