Vice President Kamala Harris recently spoke out against former President Donald Trump's role in the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a landmark decision on abortion rights. Harris criticized Trump for appointing three Supreme Court justices who ultimately played a part in undoing the protections of Roe v. Wade, leading to significant implications for women's reproductive rights.
During a discussion in Phoenix, Arizona, Harris highlighted Trump's statement of being 'proudly' responsible for the changes to abortion laws. She expressed concerns about the impact on women's rights, healthcare providers, and access to reproductive technologies like in-vitro fertilization and contraception.
Trump had previously stated his belief that abortion regulations should be determined by individual states and proudly took credit for the overturning of Roe v. Wade. In response, Harris emphasized President Joe Biden's commitment to signing a bill that would enshrine abortion rights into law once again.
Addressing the audience, Harris underscored the importance of the upcoming elections in shaping the future of abortion rights. She warned against the erosion of fundamental rights if Republicans continue to target abortion access, raising questions about what other rights could be at risk.
Phoenix marked the second stop of the day for Harris, who has been actively advocating for the protection of abortion rights. She emphasized the need for legislative action to safeguard women's reproductive freedoms and ensure that the protections of Roe v. Wade are reinstated.
