US Vice President Kamala Harris reminded top female Democrats of their duty to fight for reproductive rights and how electing two more Democratic senators in upcoming midterm elections is critical to that fight.

“If there were ever any reason for this group to exist in recent memory, moment is now,” Harris said during Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Forum in Washington.

 “We have got to do everything we can in next 39 days to remind people what is at stake in these elections,” she said during a panel moderated by actress Priyanka Chopra.

Priyanka Chopra started session with a jab at men patronising women. Pointing to silence in room, she joked “Do you hear that sound? That is sound of no mansplaining, ladies.”

Earlier this month, President Joe Biden vowed that Democrats would codify right to an abortion into law if two more Democratic senators are elected to US Senate in November 8 mid-terms, saying it would open possibility of removing filibuster, a legislative roadblock which requires a 60-vote majority to overcome.

Senate is now evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, with Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote as vice president giving Democrats thin control. But two Democratic senators have opposed ending filibuster.
