Vice President Kamala Harris deflected questions about the specific abortion restrictions she would accept as president, instead redirecting the conversation back to claims that former President Donald Trump has denied, alleging that he would enact an abortion ban.
“I support Roe v. Wade being put back into law by Congress and to restore the fundamental right of women to make decisions about their own body,” Harris told CBS Sunday Morning. “It is that basic.”
When pressed again by anchor Norah O’Donnell, Harris pivoted the conversation, saying they would not even be “debating” restrictions if former President Donald Trump had not nominated three justices to the Supreme Court that decided Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the majority opinions of which repealed the Roe abortion precedent.
O’Donnell also pushed Harris on her claims that Trump would introduce a federal abortion ban, despite his counter-claims that he would not. In response, Harris referred O’Donnell to Project 2025, policy proposals from conservative think tank Heritage Foundation, which the former president had distanced himself from.
