Catholics need to be more vocal and aware of this potential challenge to their religious liberty.
Kamala Harris was asked by a reporter: “what concessions would be on the table” when considering federal laws on abortion and specifically whether she would consider “religious exemptions.”
“I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body,” Harris responded
Furthermore in this article:
“In 2019, Harris introduced the Do No Harm Act, which would have scaled back religious liberty exemptions to government mandates…This would have eliminated religious exemptions to any coverage related to abortion, contraception, transgender surgeries, or any other health care issue.”
In addition to this, I bring to your attention that when a California Senator, Harris questioned judicial nominees about being part of the Knights of Columbus, a faithful Catholic fraternity. Peter Phipps was asked if he would “carry out [the Knights of Columbus] mission”? She was plainly asking him if he would act in accordance with his Catholic faith.

'I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body,' Harris responded.
