The appearance at a health center will be the latest leg in a nationwide tour by Ms. Harris, who has emerged as the most outspoken defender of abortion rights in the administration. While White House officials say they have largely reached the limits of their power to protect abortion rights, the issue has emerged as a linchpin of their re-election strategy.

    The article describes it as

    a visit that is believed to be the first stop by a president or vice president to an abortion clinic.

    Can you name a prior instance? I’d really be surprised, to be honest. And hey, I am no Harris fan, but this is still a striking action.

      It’s a sarcastic comment that politicians likely secretly visited an abortion clinic to get their mistress an abortion while campaigning against abortion.

        Why would they go with her? Send her with a driver and tell her to let him know when she is done healing from getting scrapped.

        Not like they actually care about the woman and would accompany her.
