CBS News: Vice President Kamala Harris‘ visit to Georgia Friday is centered around one thing: women’s reproductive rights.
The visit by Harris follows ProPublica’s investigation into two women who recently died in the state. It found their deaths could have been prevented, but their medical care was hindered by Georgia’s six-week abortion ban. Harris highlighted the stories of Candi Miller and Amber Nicole Thurman, the two women at the center of ProPublica’s report, and argued cases like theirs would intensify if former President Donald Trump is reelected. …
Harris hammered Trump over his support for abortion ban with an exception to save the life of the mother.
“Doctors have to wait until the patient is at death’s door before they take action,” Harris said, “You know, the other folks, Trump and his running mate? They’re talking about, ‘Yeah, I do believe in an exception to save a mother’s life.’ Okay, let’s break that down shall we? So, we are saying that we’re going to create public policy that says that a doctor, a health care provider, will only kick in to give the care that somebody needs if they’re about to die? Think about what we are saying right now. You’re saying good policy, logical policy, moral policy, humane policy, is about saying that a health care provider will only start providing that care when you’re about to die?””
