previous supreme court justices had refused to overturn roe v. wade. george w. bush had even more reason to think it possible that john roberts would not overturn roe v. wade when he who appointed him to be chief justice. in fact, john roberts voted to overturn roe versus wade and assigned the writing of the opinion to his george w. bush teammate, samuel alito. the entire world knew that all three of donald trump supreme court justices would overturn roe v. wade because he said during his winning presidential campaign that he would only appoint justices who would overturn roe v. wade. no other candidate had ever said that. the standard campaign line from republicans about supreme court justices before donald trump was that they had no litmus test. that was their phrase, no litmus test for supreme court justices. even though george w. bush made it clear that he personally opposed roe versus wade, he never said that it was a requirement for justices appointed by him to overturn roe versus wade. that was donald trump's intemperate innovation and it one donald trump

we need to put back into place the protection of roe v. wade. >> end those restrictions that are also -- >> we need to put back into place the protections of roe v. wade and let an individual in consultation with her doctor make the decision based on what she can determine because she's smart enough to know. what's in her best interest instead of having her government tell her what to do. especially a bunch of people in these state capitals who think they're in a better position to tell her what to do. >> before we conclude, joyful warrior has been used to describe -- >> didn't see that a minute ago. >> your opponent and republicans have at times weaponized you laughing in campaign ads for example. why is joy important to you to insert into this election and what do you make of republicans using that as a way to suggest you're not a series candidate? >> well, sometimes i think and i'll say to whoever the young people are who are watching this. there's sometimes when your adversaries will try to turn your strength into a weakness. don't you let

roe v wade was supported by more than 80% of democrats. then he said every legal scholar wanted roe v wade overturned and a bunch of legal scholars personally told me they did not. he said governor tim walz said it is fine to execute babies after birth. tim walz never said that and that is illegal and every single state. on four relations, he said 85 billion in u.s. equipment was left to the taliban. that is a massive exaggeration. the pentagon said the number is 7 billion. he said iran did not fund terror groups under him. iran did. all of the funding level did decline. he said he ended russia's north stream pipeline. he did authorize sanctions but after 90% completion and russia resumed construction during his own presidency. he said the u.s. has provided far more aid to ukraine then europe has. it is the reverse. europe divided far more aid than the u.s. he said president biden took millions of dollars from china. he did not. he added a false claim about biden getting money from russia. again, nonsense. he said harris was sent to negotia

he brags about overturning roe v wade.s own words, quote i did it and i'm proud to have done that, he said. he is proud, a proud that women are dying, proud that doctors and nurses could be thrown in prison for administering care? proud? proud that young women today fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers? how dare he? how dare he? and in our debate last week. [cheering] [laughter] while that was fun. and i know everyone out here paid attention to the words, the word. i am trying to get another debate, but we will see. but in our debate last year -- last week. remember when he said everyone wanted roe v wade to be overturned. exactly i don't know where everyone is either. women have been arrested and charged for miscarriages. they did not want that. i was speaking with a physician who was here who has in her professional experience administering care to girls. whatno we know is 12 and 13-year-old survivors of assault are being forced to carry a pregnancy to term. they did not want this. couples just trying to grow

the rights and freedoms related to roe v. wade are on the line as well as so many other things. >> senator, you will meet with the vice president tomorrow in wisconsin. what you think is most important for her to focus on? >> look, we welcome her back to wisconsin and i think it shows that we really are the battleground state and if you think of wisconsin, trump narrowly won in 2016. biden narrowly won in 2020. currently as your statistic showed, trump and harris are virtually tied in our state. three polls this week showed my race within the margin of error. real clear politics switched it from lean democrat to a pure tossup and in my race, unlike my opponent who is a multimillionaire and can self fund, i cannot. so please help me fight back by donating five dollars, $10, whatever you can to help, because all of these things are truly on the line. >> you hinted at how tight this races. a new quinnipiac polling shows you ahead of your republican opponent at 51% in the polls. what message do you have for voters with 47 days left in

i will cross roe v. wade because we can have no exceptions for rape and incest like josh hawley put into play. critical we do that and quit on this issue because despite the fact we have cost you amendment this fall we are going to codify our rights, josh hawley has signed up to a national abortion ban. he wants to override the will of missouri voters. i don't live in that. in vitro fertilization. i will protect out section because those things are poor for everyday missourians so t make our own decisions. discovered an article the springfield news leader saying both in vitro fertilization, morning after pill and other tactic under section exact same thing as abortion issue retrieve like that. it is wrong and i will be on the opposite side. >> i am pro-life. i believe every abortion strategy and ugly the pro-life movement has done us of what this service by take and capitalizing positions. i think situation we've seen missouri right now is a perfect example. when roe v. wade was struck down missouri went all

he brags about overturning roe v. wade.words, quote, i did it, and i'm proud to have done it, he says. he is proud, proud that women are dying. proud that doctors and nurses could be thrown in prison for administering care? proud that young women today have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers? how dare he. how dare he. and in our debate last week, [ applause ] well, that was fun. [ cheers and applause ] and i know everyone here paid attention to the words, though, the words, right? i'm trying to get another debate. we'll see. but in our debate last week, remember when he said everyone wanted roe v. wade to be overturned. well, exactly, i don't know where everyone is either bauds women have been arrested and charged for miscarriages. they didn't want that. i was speaking with a physician who was here who has in her professional experience been administering care to girls, and what we know is that 12 and 13-year-old survivors of assault are being forced to carry a pregnancy to term. they didn't want this. >> no.

just the overturning of roe v. wadenleashed a full-spectrum and attack on reproductive healthcare. and we saw firsthand that the overturning of roe v. wade was not just going to impact abortions. it impacted reproductive healthcare as a full-spectrum. >> when you heard that the legislature did something to clarify this, that still didn't solve the problem. explain that to me, it felt like the legislature said the law is not the way the courts interpret it, let's make it clearer. but the courts said not clear enough for us. >> yeah, i think it was a band- aid. put a band-aid over the problem temporarily for the clinics to open back up, but there are still questions. we have embryos that are frozen that we don't intend to move forward with because they are not viable. and we can't do anything with those embryos at this point. we are paying to have those embryos stored even though we know we can do anything with those. >> the language that the alabama supreme court used in the decision that ultimately blocked your procedur

donald trump keeps talking about it and how in overturning roe v. wade he helped women. he protected women. he says they're miserable today. they're poorer today, they're more vulnerable today. he said he will be the protector of women if elected. can you respond to that? >> so donald trump is also the person who said women should be

and that was the moment that i found out that the supreme court overturned roe v. wade. got it right from her. literally immediately after that, i got a text from ella, and i don't hear from her all the time. ella, please text me more. [laughter] but at that point, she was furious as well. she was 23 at the time. she's 25 now and she texted me. i wrote it down. "horrible, horrible, horrible day. time to fight. i'm angry and i don't want to stand by silently. you need to do something about this." [cheers and applause] some of you might have met my mother at the convention. she's 83 now, but she was 81 at the time. i heard from her right after i heard from ella. now i do hear from my mom all the time. [laughter] but not about this. and she said essentially the same thing. now remember, she was 81 two years ago, which meant in the 1960's and early 1970's, she was one of those women out there fighting for equal rights, fighting for reproductive freedom. and people like my mother thought that this was something they'd never have to talk about again, something that they though

. >> for 52 years they've been trying to get roe v. wade into the states. i did a great service and doing it. it took courage to do it and the supreme court had great courage in doing it. >> i have talked with women around our country. you want to talk about this is what people wanted? pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term, suffering from a miscarriage, being denied care in an emergency room because healthcare providers are afraid they might go to jail and she is bleeding out in a car in the parking lot? she didn't want that. her husband didn't want that. a 12 or 13-year-old survivor of incest being forced to carry a pregnancy to term, they don't want that. i think the american people believe that certain freedoms, in particular the freedom to make decisions about one's own body, should not be made by the government. i am kamala harris and i approve this message. >> here is what debate winners say. >> north carolina two nights ago, donald trump and i had our debates. did you watch it? did you watch it? and look, i believe we ought to have ano

own body and her life for that is where i stand up early to put back in place the protection of roe v wade put that into law. >> of those restrictions. >> we need to put back in place the protections of roe v wade and let it individual consultation with her doctor make the decision based on what she can determine part she is smart enough to know what's in her best interest within the government telling which need to do. >> before we conclude madame vice president, the political wire has been used to describe an. [inaudible] [laughter] your opponent and republicans have at times a weaponize you laughing and campaign ads for example. why is joy important to you to insert into this election? what do you make of republicans using that as a way to suggest you not a serious candidate? question homes i will say and however the young people are watching this, there are sometimes when your adversaries will try to turn your strength into weakness. don't you let them. don't you let them. i find joy in the american people. i find joy and optimism. what i seem to be our future our ability to invest in

i got rid of roe v. wade. >> but here's what one pro-life activist told blidh co.k it's foolish what he's doing it unwise and my cost him the election it's all about turn out if he wants to galvanize his base need to stop pandering to kamala harris' base because they will never vote for him anyway. she says no one owns the pro-life votes. she says she is a big bunch of people will vote for harris but in a racist height can you afford to offend that constituency? >> if she chooses to stay home then doing this she would support kala radical position many democrats believe you can have an abortion, not only up sometimes after the baby has been born that's what roe v. wade really across this country right■/ now opportunities vote at the ballot box of what the[owant to see transpire in the state and they will look a little different. they see them go to a position where women are giving opportunities that you would not have expected because of that, but these states understand weather its ohio arkansas women have the opportunity to make their own decisions in the states

we need to put back in place the protections of roe v. wade and put that into law. >> and those restrictions that are also, we need to put back in putting in place the protections of roe v. wade and let an individual in consultation jenna, with her doctor make the decision based on what she can determine because she's smart enough to know what's in her best interest instead of having her government tell her what to do especially a bunch of people in these state capitols who think they are in a better position to tell her what to do than she is to know what's in her best interests just before we conclude, madam vice president joyful warrior has been used to describe >> to my joy foot property and europe europe pollenated and republicans have at times weaponized you laughing in in campaign ads, for example, why is joy important to you? >> insert into this election? and what do you make of, of republicans using that as a way to suggest that you're not a serious candidate i'll say to whoever the young people are who are watching this, there's some

that everybody wanted roe v. wade overturned. how about you, sir? did you want roe v. eturned to your state, to the state of texas? >> absolutely not. and you know, again, we're first-hand experiences of what happens when the concept of abortion is returned to the states. and it's, again, absolutely devastating to see what actually happens. you know, i sat with amanda for three days while she recovered in a hospital. and we just had this sense of relief, you know, at least xi was alive, but at the same time, we knew we had been wronged by politicians like donald trump and by those in the states that are passing these absolutely awful abortion bans. >> you know, and you spoke at the democratic national convention and talked about abortion not just being a woman's issue, it's a man's issue. you're a husband of a woman who could have died because she didn't get aborg care. you have moved your embryos out of the state because you can't trust what happens in the state. can you talk about how men should be thinking about these abortion bans and the risks of project 2025 and d

i absolutely support reinstating the protections of roe v wade. and as you rightly mentioned, know where in america is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and, and in asking for an abortion that is not happening, it's insulting to the women of america and understand what has been happening under donald trump's abortion bands couples who pray and, and, and, and dream of having a family are being denied ivy of treatments. what is happening in our country working people, working women who are working one or 2 jobs, who can barely afford child care as it is, have to travel to another state, to get on a plane sitting next to strangers, to go and get the health care she needs barely can't afford to do it and what you are putting her through is unconscionable. and the people of america have not the majority of americans believe in a woman's right to make decisions about her own body. and that is why, in every state where this issue has been on the ballad in red and blue states, both the people of america have voted for freedom, vice president, excuse me

roe v. wade and as you rightly mentioned nowhere in america is a woman, carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion. that is not happening t is insulting to the women of america. and understand what has been happening under donald trump's abortion bans. couples that pray and dream of having a family are being denied ivf treatments. what is happening in our country. >> harris responding to trump on ukraine and making a direct appeal to critical swing state voters. >> if donald trump were president, putin would be sitting in kyiv right now. why don't you tell the 800,000 polish americans right here in pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch. >> the choice between donald trump and kamala harris could not have been clearer. and now the question is, did last night have any impact on the voters who are going to decide this election? especially those who said going into

you know who got rid of roe v wade.ans are trying to ban birth control. please think about me. my parents call me their miracle daughter because i was born with ivf. but ivf could be banned, too. do they think we're less than human? do they think we can't make decisions? about our own bodies? about our own lives? when you vote, please think about me. and me. -and me. because the politician who got rid of roe v wade, he couldn't care less. for more than a decade farxiga has been trusted again and again, and again. ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ask your doctor about farxiga. my life is full of questions... how do i clean an aioli stain? use tide. do i need to pretreat guacamole? not with tide. why do we even buy napkins? thankfully, tide's the answer to almost all of them. —do crabs have eyebrows? —except that one. for all of life's laundry questions... it's got to be tide. choose advil liqui-gels for faster, stronger and longer-lasting relief than tylenol rapid release gels. because advil target

because donald trump overturned roe v. wade, girls and women all over the country have lost the right to choose. even for rape or incest. donald trump did this. he took away our freedom. >> i am kamala harris and i approve this message. >> that little girl was five years old the first time her stepfather abused her. 12 years old when she got pregnant. the abortion ban writers pretend that a 12-year-old could look up the law in her state, find out if there is an exception to the trump abortion ban and then apply for her abortion. apply where? how? what is she supposed to do, drive herself to the courthouse? convince a judge by herself? how should she do that? how can she convince anyone? then she drives herself at age 12 to a doctor with a permission slip to get an abortion? and how does a mother dying in a hospital bed get to a courthouse to prove to a judge that she is dying so a doctor can perform a routine procedure after that woman had a miscarriage? when you are writing an abortion ban with those so- called exceptions, you

handpicked three members of the united states supreme court with the intent that they would overturn roe v. wadethey did exactly as he intended. >> not going back! not going back! not going back! not going back! vp harris: and we understand where we are. we understand where we are. hey, listen, now is the time to get a hostage deal and cease-fire. we have been working around the clock to get that done. [cheers and applause] i respect your voice, but right now, i am speaking. [cheers and applause] so, on the issue of fundamental rights and freedoms, we remember how he selected those members of the supreme court to undo roe v. wade. they did just as he intended, and what we have seen is in state after state, they have passed laws to criminalize health care providers, to punish women. now more than 20 states have a trump abortion ban, many with no exceptions for rape and incest, which is immoral, to tell a survivor of a violation to their body that they don't have a right to make a decision about what happens to their body next? that is immoral, and let us agree, one does not have to abandon their

. >> reporter: and in another dramatic moment, slamming him for praising the repeal of roe v. wade. >> you want to talk about, this is what people wanted? pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term suffering from a miscarriage being denied care in an emergency room because the health care providers are afraid they might go to jail, and she's bleeding out in a car in the parking lot. she didn't want that. >> reporter: though harris did not specify if she supports any restrictions on abortion. trump targeted harris for her record on the economy. >> i've never seen a worse period of time. people can't go out and buy cereal or bacon or eggs or anything else. >> reporter: and on the border. >> they've destroyed the fabric of our country. millions of people let in. >> reporter: also going after her recent reversals on progressive policies like a fracking ban that she has since said she opposes. >> she will never allow fracking in pennsylvania. if she won the election, fracking in pennsylvania will end on day one. >> reporter: the vice president closing the debate on an optimist

the difference is the fact that roe v. wadeed that changed the dynamics of the midterms. the republican voted under valued. when you look at the state of pennsylvania, donald trump was in front of joe biden. he and kamala harris is neck and neck. do you think this makes voters nervous about this election cycle being already much tighter than 2020. >> even when joe biden was a -t the top of the ticket we were saying abortion was going to be the difference maker. we did research that were very frustrated with joe biden especially in the middle east. we were able to motivate them and move them on abortion that included women 30 to 35-year- olds. talking about a surge in voter registration data with women. but particularly younger women. the issue gets more salient the longer these bans are in place. with kamala harris you have an authenticity but renewed energy around it and you have a shrinking of the believability gap and what democrats can and will do about it. >> yeah, totally. it's held by donald trump going through a list of

happen and it is that direct result of donald trump in extreme maga republican efforts to kill roe v. wade, and to pursue a national abortion ban. their agenda is very clear. extreme maga republican agenda is very clear. a national abortion ban, trumps project 2025, and massive tax cuts for the wealthy, the well-off, and big corporations. that's their agenda. and, the hope that the american people should feel on this issue is that as democrats led by president joe biden and vice president kamala harris, we believe in a woman's freedom to make her own at reproductive health care decisions. we support access to contraception and birth control. we support ivf. the extreme maga republicans do not. as soon as we have the opportunity to act, house democrats will swiftly pass the women's health protection act that will restore the protections of roe v. wade and beyond, in terms of access to contraception, freedom of movement and travel, as well as access to ivf. this is in the hands of the american people over the next 47 days. and it's clear that the american people stand on the side of reproduc

we need to put back in place the protection of roe v. wade and put that into law. we need to put back in place the protections of roe v. wade and let an individual in consultation with her doctor, make the decision based on what she can determine because she is smart enough to know what's in her best interest instead of having her government tell her what to do, especially a bunch of people in the state capitals who think they're in a better position to tell her what to do than she is to know what's in her best interest. >> joining us there was michigan democratic party chair barnes. thank you very much for joining us tonight. one thing i have been wondering about michigan voters is when donald trump lied to them in the debate and said that we all wanted roe versus wade to be overturned, which is to say he was lying to michigan voters about themselves, in your discussions with michigan voters, did they catch that, that he was actually telling them that they really wanted this overturning of roe versus wade which they did not want? >> they absolutely caught it becaus

i got rid of roe v. >> wade after roe v. wade was overturned, tennessee for a ban that banned all abortion with no exceptions. abortion bans or knocked her life. they are pro poverty for when he spent over two years since a five to four ruling by i just supreme court ended roe versus wade, the landmark case that provided nearly 50 years of abortion rights across the united states since then abortion has been banned in over a dozen states. many women and doctors say the limits on reproductive rights have forced them into just check back in with this in a bit i mean, an event like it's so interesting how campaigns have changed now and evolved. i mean, from donald trump is sort of reset the bar for you don't have to answer the question you were asked. you can just answer the question you can just make the statement you want to make, and it's something i think the harris-walz campaign has picked up on as well and sort of has gone along with this kind of new dynamic and certainly like the oprah effect on an event like this, it all

former president hand picked the supreme court with the intention they would undo the protections of roe v. wade and they did as he intended and in state after state laws have been passed criminalizing healthcare providers or anybody and we heard that story in georgia, a tragic story about a young woman who died because it appeared that people who should have given her healthcare would be criminalized. after the decision came down. >> she spoke to the national association of black journalists that he is a threat to all women in america and if you return to the white house. the vice president was referencing reporting in propublica that found the abortion ban he put into motion are causing women to needlessly suffer while waiting for treatment or causing irreversible damage to their health rendering them infertile or impacting their ability to have children in the future and we have irrefutable proof that this is killing women in propublica found two women in georgia have died after being unable to access timely abortion care after roe v. wade was overturned and here is one woman story. in her fi

they know who is responsible for the overturn of roe v. wadecrisis we are facing in this country in 22 states that now have an abortion ban and we are hearing folks saying they're going to vote for someone that aligns with their views and doesn't put their family members and themselves at risk, in harms way as a result of living under such a draconian law and egregious spams and so i am definitely hearing that folks are voting on this issue. they are concerned about abortion and it is a top priority. >> i know you are able, after that miscarriage, to have another child and i am wondering how worried were you to be pregnant again in louisiana? >> extremely worried. my husband literally asked me multiple times, are you sure we want to do this and certainly i understand my privilege and being able to have a second baby. i know plenty of women i have met on the campaign trail or who have written me letters are sent me messages saying their fertility has been compromised for the rest of their lives and their look into other ways to expand the family

the less famous roe v wade case. in some ways, planned parenthood bkc in which that decision came in 1992, and it was seen at the time many expected it to overturn roe, and in fact, it upheld roe, but it weakened it. it said that states could not ban abortion, but they could regulate it as long as the laws they passed did not impose an undue burden. people seeking care. and this was a very confusing standard. people did not really know what it meant. and it had been interpreted in lots of different ways. it was used to uphold a lot of restrictions even before dobbs that made abortion, if not illegal, still quite difficult to come by. it was not easy to get an abortion, even under the roe casey framework. when i thought about undue burden as a title and i have to give some credit to my brilliant editor, kara reilly at doubleday, who it was one of her ideas. and i just fell in love with it because. we are living in that world now. people are, in fact faced with that undue burden. and this is what that looks like. talk a

and abortion has been in our society and been around much longer than roe v. wade. and roe v. protected women of child bearing years from the charlatans and people not doing right by them. >> reporter: feels like a connection between you and vice president harris that wasn't there before tonight? >> absolutely. >> that's denise lewis. she says she's taking a serious look at harris. he also spoke with jeff hair, a man who did not vote in 2016, and is now deciding between voting for harris and not voting for anyone at all. there's lynn of pennsylvania who spoke with nbc's kate snow. she voted for trump in 2016. and the libertarian candidate in 2020, and was undecided ahead of this debate. listen to both of them. >> i think kamala had a good debate. i feel more favorably towards her than donald. but i'm still not 100%. >> i think kamala harris came out showing some decorum, some presidential nature about her. so i think we're -- the door is a little bit open. >> so not a decision, the door is open for a lot of these voters. looking ahead, though, how the debate settles on the pub

in 2022, quote: we have to codify roe v. wade into law. if the fbi gets in the way, the senate needs to make an exception to get this done. but harris may be wading into more controversy. >> border czar kamala harris has decided for political reasons that it's time for her to go to the border. >> with the possible trip to the border friday when she visits arizona. >> i don't think her going to the border makes any sense at all. frankly that plays right into donald trump who wants to make the border the number one issue. >> a cnn poll today has trump beating harris by 14 points on immigration. in arizona specifically, she is behind trump by 12 points on the issue among registered voters. 13 among likely voters. and it seems harris doesn't have a lot to say about her border policy out of restating support for the bipartisan. today the campaign not answering whether she would uphold her 2019 pledge to use executive powers to grant dreamers a pathway to citizenship and shield 6 million from deportation, which she railed against in 2018. [chanti

you've often towner that you were able to kill roe v wade. last year you said that you were proud to be the most pro life president in american history. then last month you said that your administration would be great for women and their reproductive rights in your home state of florida. you surprise many with regard to your 6 week abortion band because you initially it said that it was too short and he said quote, i'm going to be loading that we need more than 6 weeks. but then the very next day you reverse course and said you would vote to support the 6 week band vice president harris says that women shouldn't trust you on the issue of abortion because you've changed your position so many times. therefore, why should they trust or the reason i'm doing that vote is because the plan is a, you know, the vote is they have abortion in the 9th month. they even have and you can look at the governor of west virginia, the previous governor of west virginia, not the current governor is doing an excellent job, but the governor before he said the baby

we have seen that when he said that he's proud that he helped overturn roe v. wadehat has driven women away from republicans, driven them towards kamala harris. and we're also so realizing that trump has a history of pushing away women has a history of saying things that are negative towards women. and i think it's one of the reasons it's going to be very important for him on the debate stage to showcase demeanor that's not going to push away more women than he already has but he has tried to talk about reproductive rights. he posted on social media tia that he would be the friend of women's reproductive rights, which is not the kind of language that we normally hear from a republican. they realized they're looking at these same numbers at this kind of gender gap if i could vote at higher rates than men, it's not going to allow trump to repeat what he did in 2016, which was keep the gender gap somewhat limited, even though he was facing a female candidate and hillary clinton, and he was able to win narrowly, even as he lost the popular vote against the first democra

president donald trump has boasted of appointing three of the supreme court justices who overturned roe v. wade. georgia then implemented a law banning abortion at six weeks, before most women even know they're pregnant. harris shining a light on the death of 28-year-old mother amber thurman, pointing to a propublica report saying she is the first woman known to lose her life as a result of georgia's abortion ban. >> we will speak her name, amber nicole thurman. amber nicole thurman. amber nicole thurman. >> reporter: after a medication abortion out of state was incomplete, thurman suffered a grave infection. her doctors waited 20 hours to operate. by then, it was too late, and she died. overneed, harris meeting with thurman's mother at an event hosted by oprah winfrey. >> i want you all to know, amber was not a statistic. she was loved. by a family, a strong family. and we would have done whatever to get my baby, our baby, the help that she needed. >> i'm just so sorry. >> reporter: today, harris blasting trump and his running-mate senator j.d. vance as hypocrites. >> the other folks, trump an

they have been trying to get roe v wade into the states. e genius and heart and strength of six supreme court justices, we were able to do that. >> i absolutely support reinstating the productions of roe v wade. and as you rightly mentioned, nowhere in america is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion. that is not happening. >> kate, how do you think they both handled the question about reproductive rights? >> i think the exchange and reproductive rights was one of the best moments of the debate for, harris. you had trump there reiterating how proud he is that he put these justices on the supreme court who overturned roe. it was very clear who was at fault, who was that responsibility for the fact that reproductive freedoms have been taken away from women across the country. you had him reiterating that. and you had her pushing him on national abortion ban and whether he would veto it. he wouldn't give an answer. and then you had her giving a really heartfelt answer about what women in this country are going through.

when he claimed that everyone wanted roe v. wade to be overturned. donald trump climbed everyone, democrats, republicans, independents, everyone watching wanted roe v. wade to be overturned even though an overwhelming majority of the american people did not wanted overturned and so, after donald trump lied to the american people about the american people and what they wanted, vice president harris said this. >> donald trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body. i have talked with women around our country. you want to talk about this is what people wanted? pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term, suffering from a miscarriage and being denied carry in an emergency room because healthcare providers are afraid that they might go to jail and she is bleeding out in a car in a parking lot. she didn't want that. her husband didn't want that. a 12 or 13-year-old survivor of incest, being forced to carry a pregnancy to term. they don't want that and i pledge to you when congress passes a bill, to put back in place the pr

he appointed three justices who reversed roe v. wade that even liberal scholars acknowledge it was poorly reasoned and returned it to where it has rested for 170 years which is the american people making choices through their elected representatives at their states. states will have different kinds of laws. donald trump has acknowledged that. >> i hear you saying that former president trump has been consistent, but as we showed he's actually pivoted quite a bit on this issue, but j.d. vance was very clear. he said donald trump would veto a nationwide ban, and i guess the question is why can't trump be clear with people where where he stands? i know you're staying it's a hypothetical, but are you clear about what he would do? ? he has been clear that there will not be a nationwide abortion law when he is president. he's been perfectly consistent on that. kamala harris has been consistent and not tried her radical position on abortion and it's the only one she hasn't hid in the last six weeks like banning gas cars and banning fracing. >>
