Watch: Kamala Harris Shows Her Lack Of Knowledge By Equating Roe v Wade Repeal To Slavery

Vice President Kamala Harris likened the end of Roe v. Wade to slavery by saying that the Supreme Court's ruling was an instance of the United States government "trying to claim ownership over human bodies."

Harris made the comparison while talking at the Essence Festival in New Orleans on Saturday.

"We have to recognize we're a nation that was founded on certain principles that are — that are grounded in the concept of freedom and liberty," she said to the crowd.

"We also know that we've had a history in this country of government trying to claim ownership over human bodies. And we had supposedly evolved from that time and that way of thinking. So this is very problematic on so many levels."

Although she didn't explicitly reference the horrors of slavery, Harris is widely-thought to have been referring to the United States' grim past of purchasing and selling black people.

Her comments were made eight days after the highest court overturned the 1973 landmark ruling, which had secured nationwide abortion access for almost 50 years.

No less than 26 states are now supposed to enact partial or total bans on abortion, with Democrat-run areas offering to act as "sanctuaries" for women from states where bans have been imposed to come and get free terminations.

On June 24, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 striking down a historic ruling that has been upheld for nearly a half a century, allowing abortions throughout the first two trimesters of pregnancy in the United States.

Now, states have the authority to ban or restrict abortions.

Some states have already gone on with intentions to do so, including Florida, Indiana, Montana, Nebraska, Georgia, Iowa and South Carolina, while other state officials are attempting to reestablish the right to the procedure.

"Millions of women in America will go to bed tonight without access to the healthcare and reproductive care that they had this morning," Harris told the crowd.

"Without access to the same healthcare or reproductive healthcare that their mothers and grandmothers had for 50 years."

"Today's decision on that theory, then, calls into question other rights that we thought were settled," she continued, pointing to interracial and same-sex marriage.
