She criticized former President Donald Trump for his role in reshaping the Supreme Court to overturn national abortion rights. Harris aims to reinstate Roe v. Wade protections.

Vice President Kamala Harris took a strong stance on abortion rights during her presidential debate with Republican Donald Trump, highlighting the critical medical situations faced by women since the US Supreme Court overturned the national right to abortion in 2022.

Harris attributed the current challenges directly to Trump, who appointed Supreme Court justices that formed a conservative majority, leading to the landmark ruling during his term.

While criticizing Trump, Harris underscored her commitment to maternal health and abortion access, calling for the reinstatement of Roe v. Wade protections. Trump, however, avoided definitive answers on his plans for national abortion restrictions.
