ATLANTA (AP) — For the first time since she ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket, Vice President Kamala Harris has given a speech focused squarely on abortion rights. She did so Friday in Georgia, where she highlighted the death of a woman who developed sepsis while waiting for a routine procedure. Her speech described Republican candidate Donald Trump as a threat to women’s freedom and their very lives, calling such deaths preventable and predictable. Harris’ campaign is hoping reproductive rights will be a strong motivator for Democrats in the November election. Trump, meanwhile, continues to take credit for appointing Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. Harris held a rally later Friday in the swing state of Wisconsin.
