In a surprising reversal, former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney, once a staunch pro-life advocate, now supports abortion rights and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, shocking her longtime conservative supporters.
Former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney, long known for her staunch pro-life stance, has seemingly reversed her position, now expressing support for abortion rights and backing Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. The shift has stunned her former supporters, many of whom recall Cheney's decades-long reputation as a conservative.
Cheney, who previously ran for the U.S. Senate, famously opposed her sister’s same-sex marriage during her campaign, a stance that caused a significant rift within her family. Her newfound support for abortion rights, however, has drawn even more attention for its stark contrast to her past rhetoric.
"I have known the Cheneys a long time, and I never thought I would see the day when they would support killing the unborn. I was wrong," one former Wyoming supporter remarked, echoing the sense of betrayal felt by many conservatives.
Cheney’s pivot comes at a politically convenient time, aligning her with the Harris campaign, which has championed abortion rights as a key part of its platform. The dramatic shift has fueled speculation that Cheney's conservative values were more a matter of political expediency than conviction.
