A progressive pastor named Zach Lambert claims that “you should vote for Kamala Harris” to “reduce abortions,” because “abortions have increased nationwide since Trump-appointed judges helped overturn Roe v. Wade” and “abortion rates go down through” Democrat policies like “comprehensive sex education” and welfare programs.
IN FACT, nothing that Lambert says about Harris reducing abortions is true. Here are the actual facts:
- The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute — which is the only source that Lambert uses to support his claims — explicitly states that abortions increased after Roe was overturned because of “monumental efforts on the part of clinics, abortion funds and logistical support organizations” to provide “financial and practical support” for abortions.
- All of those abortion-increasing actions are supported by Harris, who campaigned at an abortion clinic, which has never been done before by a vice president or president.
- A Guttmacher study found that “public funding of abortion for poor women,” another Harris policy, causes “significant” increases in abortions.
- A chart from Guttmacher, which Lambert uses to support his argument, shows that abortions skyrocketed in the wake of the Roe Wade ruling (1973).
- A 2024 systematic review of “sex education interventions continue to present mixed findings of the effectiveness concerning sexual health behaviours, with some reporting positive effects, and other reporting negative effects.”
In brief, this pastor argues that abortions can be reduced by universally legalizing them, funding them with taxpayer money, and teaching children how to get them.
