On Wednesday, Harris sat down for a discussion in Michigan — her second on reproductive rights this year — with Amanda Stratton, a "conservative, pro-choice woman" and mother, and a self-styled "recovering Republican" in Olivia Troye, who worked in the Trump administration as a national security official.
"I don’t think 10, five or even maybe two years ago, we would have been talking about reproductive rights and elections, because it was seen as too controversial, not a winning issue — and frankly, it seemed like settled law," Troye said.
"The number of stories that I’ve heard about women, and their partners, their spouses, their families silently suffering," Harris said. A key to her public policy mindset is to consider how a given policy impacts a real human being — in this case, a mother who has become pregnant and needs an abortion, but lives in a state with stringent, restrictive abortion laws. "So think about what we’re saying to her: God help her if she’s got extra money to buy a plane ticket, and for a hotel room…go to a city where she’s never been to recieve this care, only to get back as soon as she can because she’s got to take care of those kids," she said. "Think about what we’re putting people through."
Stratton, a mother who shared her issues with miscarriage and secondary infertility — infertility for pregnancies after the first childbirth — told Harris that she’s found her expereinces to be common, but rarely discussed. And though her question moved away from miscarriage, Harris later circled back to note that the GOP’s vice presidential nominee, J.D. Vance, has blocked protections for IVF …
In a 2022 podcast interview, Vance said that he would "like abortion to be illegal nationally…”

Yep, she is absolutely in “campaign” on the issues mode now. The writing is on the wall.
Biden admitted during the debate with Trump by mixing up immigration and abortion and said that women get raped by their family members.Biden was explaining abortion was needed to protect perverts of incest from discovery.
IVF? Is there a republican position on this? Did Vance say anything about that at all?
That bird sings only ONE note!
We need a federal law on something that is not a federal issue.
Choice? Only the mother has a choice. The child doesn’t get to make a choice between life or death. It only gets murdered. That’s a pretty poor platform on which to campaign. Democrats are appalled when a child is killed in a school shooting yet they celebrate when a child is killed in the womb. Hard to figure.
I don’t think anyone, not even demholes, cares about what this bimbo has to say.
Frankly, I don’t see why we were even having a conversation about death penalties, they are settled law! I find it difficult that those demanding abortions have an issue with the death penalty.
Every election it is the same old song and dance from the dems. Run from the issues and bring out the crazies. President Trump has repeatedly said he is pro-life but it is a state issue. I know many don’t agree. I am waiting for Graham to throw his 2 cents in.
Sadly, many women won’t realize this until they’ve killed at least one unborn.

As a woman who had two children, the most difficult thing to understand is how can any woman be “pro choice” after having a child. Yet there are many who still support the killing of the unborn despite having children.
For me personally, I long recognized human life begins at conception. My mother did a wonderful job explaining to me as a child the development of the baby from conception to full term.
113,000 babies are killed EVERY DAMN DAY in the world. 3 Million a month, 36 Million a year!
This is by far the biggest evil ever and yet it pretty much goes unnoticed.
The Democratic party only election idea.
Assure voters that massive baby killing machine will keep going!
oh, i missed that. but isn’t it exactly true? abortion protects rapists, men who use women, sex traffickers.
women have wholesale believed the lie that abortion is for them. abortion just allows the free use and abuse of women’s bodies, minds, hearts, and souls.
and they put whores on stage as examples of power and independence. my soul cries for them. i can’t pray hard enough or well enough that they see the truth.
“Death to Unborn Children” is Karmala’a election cry.
The more you hear from this VP makes me think of the Schmoe and the Hoe bumper stickers.
...”and their women are ugly”
Oops you forgot the “inside and out”.
I think most of us noticed no Lindseed Graham at the convention. It was very wise to keep that rotten warmongering McCain acolyte POS away from the microphone.
He has made so many obvious remarks that have helped his buddies the RATs that it can’t be denied.
At all his rallies Trump should show Dr. Anthony Levatino ‘s video on abortion.
But it IS a state issue.
Nowhere in the Constitution is it written that one may, at their leisure, kill their unborn offspring.
The time to prevent childbirth is before you take your pants off.
Notice Democrats always say the exceptions are for rape and incest because that is their main concern.Abortion was more to cover up rape and incest then women’s health.
“I pray that Vance and the entire Trump Campaign are prepared.”
What’s to prepare for? Abortion, with the overturing of the Roe vs. Wade weapon started in 1972, is no longer a federal issue. So by trying to use it as a weapon again, is just disenfranchicing the voters of each state that are now totally afforded the decisions at their level with fraud.
Let’s talk about illegal immigration, oil, jobs, inflation, forced ecology that won’t work, and way too many pork programs set up to bail out people like DACA and sanctuary cities for criminals. That ought to keep them busy for a few months back peddling into the swamp. And it isn’t bait and switch.
