WASHINGTON, DC: Just hours after Florida banned abortions beyond six weeks of pregnancy, Vice President Kamala Harris paid a visit to the state on Wednesday, May 1.

The Biden campaign stepped up its effort to hold former President Donald Trump accountable for the nationwide adoption of abortion restrictions, according to CNN.

Throughout her speech at a campaign rally in Jacksonville, Harris frequently targeted Trump, referencing him a total of 21 times. She vividly depicted the potential outcomes of a second Trump administration, particularly emphasizing the detrimental effects it could have on women across the nation: "More bans, more suffering, less freedom."

Harris said, "But we are not going to let that happen. Because we trust women. We trust women to know what is in their own best interest. And women trust all of us to fight to protect their most fundamental freedom."

Notably, Harris accused Trump of being responsible for the historic 2022 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade and the numerous abortion restrictions that some states have subsequently implemented.



 

According to a Biden campaign official, this event marked the highest number of times Harris has mentioned Trump's name at an event this year.

She added, "As of this morning, 4 million women in this state woke up with fewer reproductive freedoms than they had last night. Starting this morning, women in Florida became subject to an abortion ban so extreme it applies before many women even know they are pregnant."

She further mentioned, "Which, by the way, tells us the extremists who wrote this ban either don’t know how a woman’s body works, or they simply don’t care."

Furthermore, she also delved into the potential implications for medical practitioners, highlighting the looming threat of criminal prosecution due to abortion prohibitions, such as the one in Florida.

In addition, Harris tackled Trump's recent comments published in Time magazine, where he expressed no hesitation when questioned about his comfort level with states penalizing women who seek abortions in areas where they are illegal.

Trump said, "I don’t have to be comfortable or uncomfortable. The states are going to make that decision. The states are going to have to be comfortable or uncomfortable, not me."

Harris replied to the statement, "So Florida, the contrast in this election could not be more clear: Basically under Donald Trump, it would be fair game for women to be monitored and punished by the government, whereas Joe Biden and I have a different view. We believe the government should never come between a woman and her doctor."

Notably, at the Jacksonville event, Florida House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell told CNN that women in Florida had "fewer rights than their mothers and their grandmothers had" when they woke up on Wednesday.

Driskell said, "We advocated as hard as we could against the six-week ban because most women don’t even know that they’re pregnant. So, this is as close to an outright ban as you can get, and it’s not just that the state of Florida has fallen, this actually has broad implications for women all throughout the southeast who have come to Florida seeking abortion care."

Internet trolls Kamala Harris for her statements

People on the internet slammed Kamala Harris as she held Donald Trump accountable for the nationwide adoption of abortion restrictions.

A user posted on X, "Dems are desperate," while one added, "disgusting women." [sic]

A person also wrote, "Actually it is a Florida law. Maybe she can help get it on the ballot rather than whining."



 



 



 

Another user stated, "Wow she's semi-understandable and has an opinion. I listened to about 5 seconds as she's vacuous and is a nothing vice president. Sort of there, but not really," whereas one mentioned, "quota-hire Harris."



 



 

A user also wrote, "Abortion is not healthcare."
