Laws that threaten doctors and nurses with prison time-even for life, just for providing reproductive care." --US Vice President Kamala Harris
Vice President Harris commented in regard to the reaction by the people of America stating that with every ballot that offered Roe v Wade as an option, "...by overwhelming margins..." the people voted for the freedom to access reproductive freedom.
Harris spoke to Arizona Democrats in regard to placing reproductive rights on the Arizona Constitution and on the upcoming ballot.
The Vice President stated that. Trump will sign a national abortion ban adding a comment by American poet Maya Angelou who once said, "When people tell you who they are, believe it the first time."
Harris stated that Trump admitted to his stand as a proud Donald Trump arrived at the conference in Arizona during the speaking event held for Vice President Harris and, while standing beside US House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Trump stated that the 'collection of state bans' is "working the way its supposed to." Harris stated that Trump commented, also, in regard to his feeling of pride in taking the freedom formerly had by women to obtain an abortion and overturning abortion laws.
Harris reflected on the ordeal encountered by one woman who, while seeking an abortion, she was turned away and, until she began to experience sepsis, she was denied treatment, Harris stated that doctors were in fear of being thrown in jail for providing treatment to a woman seeking an abortion.
Today, as many as 20 US states have adopted abortion bans. In Arizona and elsewhere, 1 in 3 women of reproductive age live in a state that engorces a Trump abortion ban. Former President Trump hand-picked 3 members of the US Supreme Court because he was aware that their decisions would be such that would oppose Roe v Wade.
Now, women in Arizona live under one of the most extreme abortion bans in our nation. Arizona has adopted a law established in 1864 would mean that women in the state will face difficulty when seeking an abortion. The revisited laws may, also, prohibit the use of contraceptives and other medications by women who choose to prevent pregnancy.

US Vice President Harris concluded her speech with words of encouragement to Arizona women "Do we believe in reproductive freedom. do we believe in the promise of America? When we fight, we win!"
