Kamala Harris to highlight abortion fight at Roe v. Wade anniversary speech Sunday in Tallahassee

"The Texas Legislature enacted such a ban in 2021 but in August joined 12 other states enforcing a "trigger ban" making abortion a felony punishable by up to life in prison, with narrow exceptions."

"Less than a week later, Florida's new ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy without exceptions for rape or incest went into effect."

"Unsafe abortion, typically administered in developing nations and countries where abortion is illegal, is a leading -- but preventable -- cause of maternal deaths and morbidities, according to the World Health Organization, which says lack of access to "safe, timely, affordable and respectful" is a "critical public health and human rights issue.""

"A May poll by Florida Atlantic University revealed even stronger opposition, with 67% of Florida respondents saying they want abortion legal in most or all cases and just 12% supporting a complete ban."

"Banning safe, legal access to abortion is generally unpopular across the U.S., including in Florida, according to multiple polls conducted before and after Roe's overturning."

"Abortion was previously legal through the 24th week of pregnancy,"

"Vice President Kamala Harris is delivering a speech Sunday in Tallahassee to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the now-overturned Supreme Court decision establishing constitutional protections for abortion."

"Harris is expected to contrast efforts by President Joe Biden's administration to bolster access to abortion and some forms of contraception with a concerted GOP countereffort."

""She will lay out the consequences of extremism attacks on reproductive freedom in states across our country and underscore the need for Congress to codify Roe."Both Biden and Harris believe "a woman's right to choose is non-negotiable," Allen added."

This is a negative sentiment.
