The high point of Kamala Harris’s otherwise disastrous vice
presidency came in May 2022 when she delivered a fiery speech
that rebuked the leaked draft of the Supreme Court decision that
would eventually overturn Roe v. Wade.

For a vice president that had sorely lacked positive press up
until this point, the virality of her condemnation of the
court’s leaked decision — punctuated by her impassioned delivery
of the rhetorical question, “how dare they?” — boosted her
political stock in the weeks that followed. The moment inspired
numerous think pieces in select legacy outlets, which all said
essentially the same thing: At long last, the veep had found her
voice.

So it was no surprise that Harris attempted to recreate that
moment last week on the 50th anniversary of the original Roe
decision, a date on the calendar year that has long served as
the occasion of the March for Life in Washington D.C. Speaking
in front of roughly 1,500 people outside of the Florida
statehouse in Tallahassee, Harris once again delivered the
successful catchphrase:

"I've said it before, and I'll say it again,” she began. “How
dare they? How dare they?"

Somewhere in a picket line in Scandinavia, Greta Thunberg
blushed.

Unfortunately for Harris, her speech in Tallahassee again went
viral, but not in a good way. In a moment of jaw-dropping
cynicism, she somehow managed to issue the following statement
with a straight face.

“America is a promise. … It is a promise of freedom and liberty,
not just some, but for all. A promise we made in the Declaration
of Independence, that we are each endowed with the right to
liberty and the pursuit of happiness" (emphasis mine).

The comment drew nervous applause from an audience of allies. In
a sane world — or at least one that objects to having its
intelligence mocked — it would have drawn a barrage of rotten
tomatoes.

The omission of the word “life” was impossible to miss. Even the
most hyper-progressive, anti-American neo-Maoist in attendance
would have noticed its absence. After all, the phrase is perhaps
the most well-known and oft-repeated in the Western world.
Americans, as well as many non-Americans, have it memorized by
the time they’ve learned to tie their shoes. Either Harris is an
even less formidable intellect than we’d imagined, or her
estimation of the public is so low that she thought she could
pull a fast one.

Either way, the moment was a gift for the pro-life movement as
it continues to struggle for the hearts and minds of the nation
in the post-Roe era. Harris’s omission of the word “life” had
the unintended effect of underscoring its necessity. Indeed,
without life, there can be no liberty or pursuit of happiness.
“Life” is the first right listed in the declaration because it
is the most fundamental of the three. Its absence drove the
point home splendidly. For this, Harris should be thanked.

But what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Harris
attempted (and gloriously failed) to twist one of the most
sacred phrases in world history for her own convenience and to
further her own political ambition. And so it is only fair that
we say in response: How dare you, madam vice president?
