Kamala Harris Dismisses Democrats' Alleged Support for Abortion Until Birth

Vice President Kamala Harris dismissed claims by Republicans that Democrats support abortion rights until birth as "ridiculous," emphasizing the need to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade. Harris refused to specify a specific week of pregnancy for abortion law protection, stating that the Biden administration aims to restore existing rights. Republicans argue that the lack of a precise date allows Democrats to perform abortions up until birth, a claim Harris called a mischaracterization. Late-term abortions are already rare and typically occur due to serious fetal abnormalities, with the majority of abortions occurring within the first trimester.
