Harris on Iowa abortion ban

Vice President Kamala Harris has condemned Iowa's new abortion law, labeling it a 'Trump abortion ban' and highlighting that it is now the 22nd state to implement such restrictions since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The law, which prohibits most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, puts the spotlight on the growing number of states with similar bans, affecting one in three women of reproductive age in the U.S. Harris is using this ban as a catalyst for her campaign, urging voters to recognize the implications for reproductive rights in the upcoming election. She promises that, if elected, she will sign protections for reproductive freedom. Meanwhile, former President Trump has defended his stance, claiming that abortion policy should be determined by individual states. This issue is expected to play a significant role in the presidential race, with Democrats looking to capitalize on public support for abortion rights.
