In a heated debate, U.S. presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris argued over abortion policy. Harris warned that Trump would impose a nationwide abortion ban if elected, limiting women’s control over their bodies. Trump called these claims baseless.
Trump supported a six-week abortion ban and criticized the Democratic Party’s position as outdated. He claimed that a national abortion ban bill would not pass Congress under his administration.
Harris highlighted the severe restrictions in over 20 states, where doctors risk life imprisonment for performing abortions. She pointed out the impact on rape victims, who are forced to continue pregnancies, causing additional trauma and suffering.
Trump accused the Democratic Party of extremism and questioned their stance on late-term abortion, arguing it was unfair to allow abortion up to nine months.
This debate follows the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn the 50-year constitutional right to abortion, which has sparked nationwide opposition and remains a major issue in the presidential election.
