The former vice president and presidential candidate celebrated Baulieu’s legacy in a Saturday X post, crediting the abortion pill inventor with “chang[ing] the lives of so many women around the world.”

As The Washington Post reported Monday, Kamala Harris’ mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, worked with Baulieu in Paris in the 1980s, but not on the abortion pill. In his office, Baulieu kept a glass bowl from the former vice president, as well as various press clippings about mifepristone.
