Kamala Harris Raised $160,000 For Abortion Groups In Wake Of Alabama Abortion Ban

[demmiblue]

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) raised more than $160,000 for abortion rights groups on Wednesday, after Alabama passed legislation that essentially bars women from obtaining the medical procedure in the state.

Harris’ fundraising email to her supporters, first sent out around noon on Wednesday, compared what was happening in Alabama to the dystopian book and TV series, “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

“Outlawing access to abortion ― including in cases of rape or incest. Threatening to punish doctors who provide abortion care with up to 99 years of jail time. This isn’t a scene from The Handmaid’s Tale. This is happening in Alabama ― in our country ― in the year 2019,” read the email.

The message asked people to donate money that would be split among four groups fighting for abortion rights: the Yellowhammer Fund, the Clinic Vest Project, ARC Southeast and the National Network of Abortion Funds.

Good for her! I've seen this done before, where a high-profile candidate helps to raise money for someone else. EXCEPT, unlike one other particular instance I'm aware of, SHE IS NOT keeping half for herself. Nor is she keeping any portion. I think that speaks very highly of her character. That's what I expect from Democrats.
