'Everything is at stake' for reproductive rights in 2024, Harris says as Biden-Trump debate nears
Vice President Kamala Harris says “everything is at stake” with reproductive health rights in November's presidential election
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris says “everything is at stake” with reproductive health rights in November's election as the Biden campaign steps up its focus on contrasting the positions taken by Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump on the issue before their debate this week.
“Every person of whatever gender should understand that, if such a fundamental freedom such as the right to make decisions about your own body can be taken, be aware of what other freedoms may be at stake,” Harris said in a joint MSNBC interview with Hadley Duvall, an abortion rights advocate from Kentucky who was raped by her stepfather as a child. Part of the interview aired Sunday.
The Biden campaign believes that abortion rights can be a galvanizing issue in what is expected to be a close general election.
