Vice President Kamala Harris has rejected Donald Trumps recent assertion that, if elected, he will serve as the protector of women. During an MSNBC interview Wednesday, the Democratic nominee for president cited her rivals pride about the overturning of Roe v. Wadedespite its negative consequences, as seen recently with the deaths of two women in Georgia.
When asked to react to Trumps comment from Monday, Harris began her response by pointing to how Trump said in 2016 that there has to be some form of punishment for women who have abortions if the procedure was banned.
Trump said women should be punished for exercising a decision that they rightly should be able to make about their own body and their future, Harris told anchor Stephanie Ruhle. So I think we would all agree that as a result of that perspective that he has about women, he also then chose three members of the United States Supreme Court who did as he intended: undid the protections of Roe v. Wade.
Now, in state after state you see laws being passed that do punish women, Harris continued, referencing how Georgias Republican state legislators have since made it a felony to perform a routine dilation and curettage procedure. Two women died as a result, ProPublica reported earlier this month.
