Vice President Kamala Harris claimed former President Donald Trump would install a national abortion ban that would allow for no exceptions, despite Trump saying moments before that he believes in exceptions for abortion. “Now, in over 20 states there are Trump abortion bans, which make it criminal for a doctor or nurse to provide health care in one state, it provides prison for life. Trump abortion bans that make no exception, even for rape and incest, which understand what that means,” Harris said Tuesday evening from Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center. “A survivor of a crime of violation to their body does not have the right to make a decision about what happens to their body. That is immoral, and one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government and Donald Trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body,”Understand, if Donald Trump were to be re-elected, he will sign the national abortion ban.” JD VANCE VOWS TRUMP WOULD NOT IMPOSE FEDERAL ABORTION BAN, VETO IT IF COMES ACROSS DESKMoments before, Trump said he believes in exceptions for abortion, similar to former President Ronald Reagan. “I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother,” Trump said during the debate. “I believe strongly in it. Ronald Reagan did also. Eighty-five percent of Republicans knew exceptions are very important,” he said. Trump added in his rebuttal that he does not support a national abortion ban and that Harris’ comments were an “absolute lie.” “As far as the abortion ban, no, I’m not in favor of an abortion ban, but it doesn’t matter, because this issue has now been taken over by the states,” Trump said. TRUMP SAYS PROJECT 2025 ‘GOES WAY TOO FAR’ WITH ABORTION RESTRICTIONSThe Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, with Trump praising the decision. He is now campaigning that abortion laws and issues be left up to individual states following the Dobbs decision. HARRIS REPEATS DEBUNKED CLAIM TRUMP WANTS TO ‘BAN’ ABORTION DURING FIRST CAMPAIGN RALLY SINCE BIDEN QUIT RACEEarlier this year, Trump did spark the condemnation of some pro-life conservatives for the GOP’s more muted language on abortion this election cycle, and for saying last month that Florida’s six-week abortion ban “is too short.” He has since said that he will vote against a Florida amendment that would legalize abortion through the 9th month of pregnancy, and has doubled down that abortion laws and issues should be left up to the states to decide.
