Kamala Harris Absolutely Skewered Trump On The Abortion Mess He Created

Kamala Harris lit into Donald Trump when the topic of abortion came up during Tuesday night’s presidential debate.

Harris broke down the horrors pregnant people have experienced since the Supreme Court repealed Roe v. Wade two years ago. She reminded voters that Trump nominated three of the conservative members of the Supreme Court who unraveled nearly 50 years of federal abortion protections.

Harris dubbed the abortion bans and restrictions that nearly 20 states have enacted since the fall of Roe the “Trump abortion bans,” making it clear who she believes is responsible for the current landscape of reproductive health in the U.S.

“One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government and Donald Trump, certainly, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body,” Harris told the ABC moderators.

“I have talked with women around our country,” she continued. “You want to talk about ‘This is what people wanted’ — pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term suffering from a miscarriage, being denied care in an emergency room because the health care providers are afraid they might go to jail and she’s bleeding out in a car in the parking lot? She didn’t want that. Her husband didn’t want that.”

“A 12- or 13-year-old survivor of incest being forced to carry a pregnancy to term? They don’t want that,” she added, seemingly referencing Trump’s false and repeated claim that “everybody wanted Roe v. Wade terminated for years.”

When Trump claimed that women are getting abortions “up until the moment of birth” with some even murdering babies right after they’re born ― a common though completely false Republican talking point ― ABC’s Linsey Davis immediately fact-checked the former
