Kamala Harris' Continuing Voice on Reproductive Rights

Vice President Kamala Harris criticized laws restricting abortion in states across the US, while her predecessor, Mike Pence, openly embraces a federal ban. Harris addressed a crowd in Charlotte, North Carolina, on the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. She called out the chaos, confusion, and fear created by laws that have denied women care even when their life and health were at risk. The Biden campaign sees abortion as a winning issue for the ticket, while many Republicans competing to take on Biden are leaning into their stances on abortion. Support for abortion being legal has increased since last year, according to recent polling.
