US Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the Democratic nominee for the presidential elections on November 5 this year, said last night that he is trying to get a second chance to participate in pre-election televised debates with his opponent from the Republican Party, Donald Trump, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
At the same time, she declared her opponent a threat to the lives and freedom of American women, warning that he would continue to restrict the right to abortion if he returned to the White House, the Associated Press reported.
"I'm trying to get to some more debates. We'll see," Harris said during a pre-election rally in front of about six hundred people at the Cobb Energy cultural center. in Atlanta, Georgia.
The only televised debates so far between Harris and former US President Trump were on September 10 in the studio of "ABC News". Previously, Trump had debates in Atlanta - in the studio of CNN, with the President of the United States Joe Biden, who subsequently withdrew from the presidential race and was replaced in the Democratic contender position by Harris.
Harris' campaign meeting in one of the key states for the upcoming presidential election came days after investigative media ProPublica reported that two women in Georgia had died after not receiving the necessary treatment after complications from taking the pill. for termination of pregnancy, AP indicates.
Such deaths are not only preventable, but predictable thanks to laws implemented after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade; (declaring that the constitutional right to abortion, upheld for nearly half a century, no longer exists), Harris noted.
Regardless of the six-week provision, which allows abortion early in pregnancy to save the mother's life, opponents of the ruling say it has created a risk of confusion among doctors about whether they have the right to provide treatment to women .
"Is it good policy, logical policy, moral policy, humane policy to declare that a health care worker will only begin providing the necessary health care when you are on the verge of death?'' Harris asked in Atlanta.
At her second campaign event last night, in the Wisconsin state capital - Madison, she recalled the story of Amber Thurman, who decided to have an abortion when she became pregnant again.
"She had planned her future. She was loved. And she would be alive today,'' the US vice president said of Thurman, who waited more than 20 hours at the hospital for a routine medical procedure to remove tissue after taking abortion pills. The woman develops sepsis and dies.
According to Caroline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump's campaign staff, given that Georgia state legislation allows for exceptions to the current law, "it is not clear why doctors do not act to protect the lives of mothers,", according to the AP.
