‘Pro-Life’ Liz Cheney Urges People To Vote For Harris For ‘Life-Saving’ Health Care

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) urged people to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris to make sure women have “life-saving health care” and said the overturning of Roe v. Wade is “uniting women who are pro-choice and pro-life.”

“You have pro-life women all across this country who have been watching what’s happened in places like Texas and places like North Carolina, where since Roe was overturned, you had laws put in place at the state level that are preventing women from getting life-saving care,” Cheney said on Sunday’s episode of “State of the Union.”

She continued: “You have women like me, who have been pro-life, are saying, ‘What we have seen happen cannot stand.’”

She referenced the attorney general of Texas suing for the medical records of women who have sought abortions out of state, calling out that former President Donald Trump, who took credit for the overturn of Roe v. Wade, won’t make his medical records public.

At the beginning of September, Cheney announced she would vote for Harris, and a few days later called Trump “depraved” and said that reelecting him would be an “unrecoverable catastrophe” for the country. Cheney was also the vice chair of the Jan. 6 committee that investigated the coup attempt in 2021, in which Trump was charged with trying to overturn the 2020 election results.

Cheney seems to be walking back her anti-abortion stance. After Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, she praised the decision, saying she has “always been strongly pro-life.”

Last week, Cheney campaigned with Harris in Wisconsin, where she said Trump is a “threat” on democracy.

“You don’t have to take my word for it, but look at what people closest to Donald Trump are saying about him,” Cheney said. “We’ve never faced a threat like this before, and I think it’s so important for people to realize this republic only survives if we protect it, and that means putting partisan politics aside and standing up for the Constitution and for what’s right and loving our country.”

Along with Harris, Cheney has also endorsed Democratic Rep. Colin Allred for Senate in his race against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
