Vice President Kamala Harris will visit Arizona on Friday to highlight reproductive rights just days after the state's Supreme Court ruled that an 1864 near-total abortion ban is enforceable. Harris' office said she will visit Tucson “to continue her leadership in the fight for reproductive freedoms” as the ruling brings the vital swing state to the forefront of abortion politics.
It provides no exceptions for rape, incest, or health,' Harris said in a statement Tuesday. 'It’s a reality because of Donald Trump, who brags about being ‘proudly the person responsible’ for overturning Roe v. Wade, and made it possible for states to enforce cruel bans.' Since the Arizona Supreme Court decision, the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee have highlighted Trump’s abortion politics in a series of new advertisements.
