It was a pro-abortion politician speaking on a pro-abortion topic to a pro-abortion crowd.

It was a Gateway Pundit commentary that bluntly cited Harris’ decision to alter the nation’s foundation document.
“Kamala’s grotesque omission from Declaration of Independence in pro-abortion speech: We’re guaranteed ‘the right to liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!’ Whoa, what happened to the right to ‘life?'”
At a recent pro-abortion speech, she attacked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the state’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks.
The report said Harris also censored “Creator” from the document when describing where rights come from.
“A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence – that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” Harris said. “These rights were not bestowed upon us. They belong to us as Americans.”
The Declaration actually states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Misrepresenting the nation’s founding documents, however, appears to be more policy than inadvertent for the Biden administration.
