Kamala Harris Denies Democrats' Support for Abortion Until Birth

Vice President Kamala Harris refutes Republican claims that Democrats support abortions up until birth, but avoids specifying when abortion access should be denied. She urges Congress to pass legislation to protect abortion rights after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Harris argues that the lack of a precise date for cutting off abortion access is a mischaracterization, as the majority of abortions occur before 13 weeks and less than 1% are performed after 21 weeks. She emphasizes the need to trust women to make decisions about their bodies and supports codifying Roe v. Wade into law. President Biden has previously stated that the decision to obtain an abortion should be between a woman, her family, and her doctor, with the last three months requiring negotiation unless the woman's physical health is at stake.
