51 years ago today, the landmark Roe v. Wade decision established abortion as a constitutional right in the United States. In light of this anniversary, the Biden campaign is focusing on the consequences of the recent Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe, and its implications for the future of abortion rights in America. Vice President Kamala Harris is set to kick off a nationwide reproductive freedom tour in Wisconsin, where she will address these key issues.
The Vice President is expected to draw attention to former President Donald Trump's role in nominating three conservative Supreme Court justices, which ultimately led to the overturning of Roe. She will also highlight the harm and confusion that has ensued since the Dobbs decision, particularly in Wisconsin, where the state's abortion restrictions were reinstated following the ruling.
