Chief counsel to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, Katherine Robertson, joined Liz Murrill, Louisiana Attorney General, in an op-ed making the case that Kamala Harris is not the right pick for women voters.
“Kamala Harris, we are told, embodies what women voters have been waiting for,” the piece says. “With a chance to become America’s first female president, she sought to assure us in her convention speech that ‘in matters of heart and home’ (meaning, apparently, just abortion), she is the only logical choice. But women are not nearly so primitive. Even those who subscribe to identity politics can see that Harris is no feminist. In fact, it is entirely fair to deduce from her record that Kamala Harris is anti-woman.”
The op-ed argues that the Biden administration’s actions have been a direct attack on the rights of women.
Robinson, a graduate of both the University of Alabama and Auburn University, knows what it’s like to be a woman leader in government, serving in roles at the U.S. Department of Justice and as U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions’ legislative counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee, handling matters related to crime, drugs and national security.
“As vice president, Kamala Harris has co-led the first administration in American history that cannot definitively say what a woman is,” they argue. “Her administration’s uncertainty over this biological certainty has not just been philosophical. Within the first 100 days of taking office, Joe Biden and Harris unveiled Executive Order 13988 to “prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.” Veiled in faulty legal analysis, the directive set the entire federal government on a crusade for genderlessness in every aspect of American society—including employment, housing, health care, and education—the practical effect of which has been decidedly bad for women and girls.”
They also point to the administration’s changes to Title IX, which they believe will do nothing but hurt opportunities for women across the country.
“In April of this year, the Biden-Harris administration announced its comprehensive rewrite of Title IX, the celebrated federal law passed in 1972 to protect women from discrimination in education,” the op-ed says. “The rewrite memorialized the Biden-Harris decree that Title IX’s prohibition on sex discrimination was to be read to include ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity.'”
“Here again, the safety and comfort of America’s young women were readily sacrificed,” they added, “either in favor of boys struggling with gender dysphoria or simply to satisfy the whims of the fanatical Left.”
Marshall filed for a preliminary injunction against those Title IX changes earlier this year.
“Kamala Harris hails herself as the only candidate who can be trusted to protect a woman’s right to privacy, while trailblazing an unprecedented attack on women and their privacy throughout her tenure as vice president,” they concluded.
