Kamala Harris hammers Trump on abortion in Arizona visit
In the ongoing battle for abortion rights in Arizona, Vice President Kamala Harris takes a bold stance, placing the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of Donald Trump.
As the Arizona Supreme Court’s recent ruling virtually bans abortions, Harris wastes no time in rallying voters, viewing the upcoming election as a crucial battleground for women’s rights—a cornerstone issue for the Biden campaign. Swiftly reacting to Tuesday’s ruling, Harris promptly schedules a trip to Tucson, a strategic move in the fight for reproductive freedom.
The court’s decision to revive a 160-year-old law severely restricting abortions except in dire circumstances, Harris argues, unveils a broader strategy aimed at dismantling abortion rights in the United States. She labels this ruling as a pivotal moment in the ongoing struggle.
“Former President Donald Trump is to blame,” asserts Harris, moments after Trump’s press conference at Mar-a-Lago, where he celebrates what he views as a triumph in dismantling Roe v. Wade.
In Tucson, Harris bluntly articulates the gravity of the upcoming election: “This is a fight for freedom.”
Since January, Harris has traversed the nation, advocating for reproductive rights, branding the upcoming election as decisive for these rights’ fate. In a historic move last month, Harris became the first sitting vice president to visit a Planned Parenthood clinic, underscoring the urgency of the issue.
Describing Roe v. Wade’s overturning in 2022 as seismic, Harris paints the Arizona ban as a significant aftershock, indicative of more restrictive policies under a potential second Trump term.
The Biden campaign swiftly responds to the ruling, launching a substantial ad campaign aimed at mobilizing voters and highlighting Trump’s role in restricting reproductive freedoms.
As the issue gains traction, both politically and socially, Harris vows not to regress: “We are not going back.”
The Biden campaign is determined to harness this momentum in battleground Arizona, capitalizing on the ruling to rally support and highlight the stark differences in policy approaches.
With reproductive rights emerging as a central issue, the battle lines are drawn, with the Biden campaign squarely attributing the current state of affairs to Trump’s policies.
Despite Trump’s attempts to navigate the issue delicately, Harris dismisses his assurances, declaring, “Enough with the gaslighting.”
