   Vice President Kamala Harris called for more “faith in each   
   other, in our nation, and in our future” while meeting with   
   religious leaders about abortion, but she did not make any   
   mention of God.   
      
   Harris was in Los Angeles, California, on Monday to meet with   
   religious and faith leaders during a roundtable discussion,   
   which she held to address “protecting reproductive rights [and]   
   addressing the epidemic of hate that is gripping our nation.”   
      
   In her address, Harris said, “There’s so much more in common   
   than what separates us.”   
      
   “We need faith in each other, in our nation, and in our future,”   
   she told those in attendance. “And so, that’s why we are coming   
   together today with a goal of instilling in folks a belief that   
   gives them a sense of hope and optimism in themselves, in their   
   community, and our future.”   
      
   Religious leaders in attendance reportedly included those from   
   Christianity, Judaism, and Sikhism. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA),   
   Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA), Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis (D-CA), and   
   Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, a Democrat, also were in   
   attendance.   
      
   Harris encouraged the leaders to avoid looking at support for   
   abortion as “giving up core beliefs.”   
      
   “It is simply about agreeing that a woman should be able to make   
   that decision with her faith leader, with her family, with her   
   physician, and that the government should not be making that   
   decision for her,” Harris said.   
      
   Other leaders not in attendance took to social media to react to   
   her comments.   
      
   Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America noted that the vice president   
   also avoided saying the word “abortion.”   
      
   Andrew Brennan, the Republican National Committee’s director of   
   faith communications, slammed the roundtable discussion as a   
   display of how “out of touch” the Biden administration is   
   concerning what matters to the public.   
      
   “Families can’t afford gas or groceries because of Joe Biden,   
   and yet all this White House wants to talk about is their   
   radical late-term abortion agenda — they couldn’t be more out of   
   touch if they tried," Brennan said in a statement.   
      
   The CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis also called for faith   
   in God rather than people.   
      
   “What we all actually need is faith & trust in our Creator God &   
   Savior, & to know and believe His Word. But then she would have   
   to give up her support for sacrificing children in their   
   mother's wombs,” Answers in Genesis CEO Ken Ham tweeted.   
      
   First Baptist Dallas's Dr. Robert Jeffress blasted the vice   
   president’s comments.   
      
   “Biden Administration is spiritually bankrupt,” Jeffress tweeted.   
      
   The roundtable discussion comes more than a month since a draft   
   of the majority opinion in Dobbs v. Women’s Health Organization   
   was leaked, which seemed to indicate that the Supreme Court   
   voted to overturn Roe v. Wade and return the authority to pass   
   laws regarding abortion to the states.
