Halifax Regional Police release Dartmouth suspect’s name and photo | SaltWire #news #novascotiaWASHINGTON - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris visits Florida on Wednesday to denounce the state's six-week abortion ban that takes effect on May 1, and will accuse Republican opponent Donald Trump of being responsible for it.
"This ban applies to many women before they even know they are pregnant – which tells us the extremists who wrote this ban don’t even know how a woman’s body works. Or they just don’t care," she will say. Harris has visited more than 20 states to push for reproductive freedom and also made a historic trip to an abortion clinic in March.
In 2023 about 7,700 of some 84,000 abortions performed in Florida were for out-of-state residents, nearly 60% higher than two years earlier, state data show. About half of the state's 50 clinics operate independently from larger groups such as Planned Parenthood. Several told Reuters they are not sure how long they can stay open after the ban.
Trump has muddied his stance on the issue in recent weeks. The Republican distanced himself from Arizona's ruling even as he took credit for appointing the three Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade and made state restrictions possible.
