Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump for claiming credit for the reversal of Roe v. Wade, expressing concern over the impact on women’s rights and healthcare.
Trump boasted about his role in overturning the decision, leading to significant restrictions on abortion across multiple states.
Harris and the Biden campaign are emphasizing abortion rights as a key issue in response to Republican anti-choice sentiments.
“The previous president expressed his intentions quite clearly. And fast forward to just recently, says he’s proud of what he did,” Harris said.
“By inference, he is proud that women have been deprived of fundamental freedoms to make decisions about their own body; by inference, proud that doctors are being penalized and criminalized for providing health care, proud that women are silently suffering because they don’t have access to the health care they need,” Harris said. “So, let’s understand that the stakes are so very high.”
“For 54 years, they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated, and I did it, and I’m proud to have done it,” Trump said. “Nobody else was going to get that done but me, and we did it, and we did something that was a miracle.”
“As Trump proudly brags he was the one who got rid of Roe v. Wade, paving the way for Republican extremists across the country to pass draconian bans that are hurting women and threatening doctors … one-in-three women of reproductive age now live under an abortion ban,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said.
