Kamala Harris and Donald Trump Spar Over Abortion Policies During ABC News Debate

At the ABC News presidential debate, Kamala Harris claimed Donald Trump would sign a national abortion ban if re-elected, which Trump called a 'lie'. They discussed Roe v Wade's reversal and state-level abortion laws.

At the ABC News presidential debate, US Vice President Kamala Harris asserted that former President Donald Trump would sign a national abortion ban if re-elected. Trump vehemently denied the claim, labeling it a 'lie' and stating there's no requirement to sign such a ban.

Harris criticized Trump's influence on the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v Wade and implementing restrictive abortion policies across numerous states. She described these policies as 'immoral' and pledged to restore Roe v Wade protections if elected President.

Trump responded by asserting that the issue of abortion has been appropriately returned to the states for decision-making, which he claimed was a bipartisan desire. He dismissed Harris' claims, stating his lack of intention to sign a national abortion ban and highlighting the improbability of such legislation passing in Congress.
