During the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Mini Timmaraju, the president of the pro-choice nonprofit Reproductive Freedom for All, made a significant statement regarding abortion. She emphasized the impact of abortion-related issues on election outcomes, stating that 'when abortion is on the ballot, we win.'
Timmaraju took the opportunity to criticize former President Donald Trump's stance on abortion, particularly highlighting his controversial statement that women should be punished for having abortions. In contrast, she praised Vice President Kamala Harris for her support of women's reproductive rights.
She posed a straightforward question to the audience, asking whether they preferred a president who advocated for punishing women for having abortions or a president who trusted women to make their own decisions regarding their bodies.
