Rep. Harris earned a 0-percent score in NARAL Pro-Choice America's 2011 Congressional Record on Choice.
Voted twice to block Planned Parenthood from receiving any federal funds, which would have denied millions of Americans access to contraception, cancer screenings, and other basic medical care.

Voted to allow hospitals to refuse to provide emergency abortion care to women who could die without it.
"I believe in the value of human life, said Harris. "And until we value every human life, we'll have an attitude in the country that it is less than valuable."
