‘Stop this pain’ and ‘injustice’ over abortion ban

With just a week until the election, Vice President Kamala Harris is using her pro-choice platform to get it across the finish line.

The Democratic presidential nominee warned of the dangers of a second term under former President Donald Trump in an interview with CBS on Sunday, in which she said “my first priority is restoring (abortion) protections and ending this pain.” and stop this injustice that is happening around our country.”

“We have seen women who miscarried during a pregnancy they were praying for and were denied medical care because doctors were afraid they would go to jail, and these women developed sepsis,” Harris said. “We have witnessed extraordinary harm, pain and suffering because of what Donald Trump did in intending, carrying out and overturning Roe v. Wade.”

The Trump campaign has tried to distance itself from the unpopular idea of ​​a national ban – even recently saying he would have vetoed it if it had reached his desk – but Trump himself has “said women should be punished” for abortions, Harris said. marked. His partner JD Vancehas also previously expressed a desire to limit abortion at the federal level.

Harris noted that the roadmap for implementing such a policy is outlined in Project 2025Trump’s second presidency plan, developed by the conservative Heritage Foundation, which includes criminalizing the use of abortion drugs as well as their delivery. Although Trump denied any involvement in Project 2025, Harris noted that “he was all over this issue.”

“I’m too busy watching him does see what he has said“, she said.

Ultimately, “we wouldn’t be discussing this if Donald Trump hadn’t hand-picked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intent of eliminating the protections Roe v. Wade“Harris added. In a second term, Trump could further complicate the court by allowing them to roll back other legal protections.

“And what we’ve seen demonstrated… every day for the last two years is the extraordinary damage that has happened in America,” Harris said. “Where women died because of Trump’s abortion ban; where women who have experienced rape and incest among girls, and no exception those whose bodies have been violated, must make decisions about what happens to their bodies next.”
