Vice President Kamala Harris is set to deliver a speech in Maryland on Monday, marking the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. In her address, Harris is expected to criticize former President Donald Trump for what she describes as a 'premeditated' effort to restrict abortion access in America.
According to prepared remarks, Harris, a former prosecutor, will point to Trump's role in appointing three Supreme Court justices with the intention of overturning Roe v. Wade. She will assert that Trump's actions were deliberate and aimed at limiting reproductive rights.
Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Harris has been actively advocating for reproductive rights, holding roundtables and delivering speeches in various states facing restrictive abortion bans. She has emerged as a key spokesperson for the administration on this issue.
On the anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision, Harris and other administration and campaign surrogates are participating in over 50 events across the country to emphasize the importance of protecting abortion rights.
In her speech, Harris is also expected to condemn Trump for his comments taking credit for the overturning of Roe v. Wade. She will highlight Trump's lack of remorse and his public boasting about his role in restricting access to abortion.
Harris will assert that Trump's actions constitute an admission of guilt and a violation of women's reproductive freedom. She will characterize Trump as being responsible for the erosion of constitutional rights in America.
Overall, Harris's speech is expected to underscore the administration's commitment to defending reproductive rights and holding accountable those who seek to undermine them.
