副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯点名批评了几个州的领导人，她说这些人自去年以来一直在削弱妇女的生育权最高法院的判决推翻罗伊诉韦德案，但她表示希望美国公众会反击。

哈里斯周五访问爱荷华州时，接受了美国广播公司新闻直播节目主持人林西·戴维斯的采访，她谈到了该州共和党州长最近签署的为期六周的堕胎禁令，该禁令目前被爱荷华州法官阻止。

十五个州有停止了几乎所有的堕胎服务.

哈里斯说，她对这个国家正在发生的事情感到担忧，并批评国家领导人，她说，这些限制损害了妇女的健康。

“像爱荷华州这样的州所采取的这种方法背后有一些东西，这真的表明他们不相信女性能够知道什么对她们最有利，并据此做出决定，”副总统说。

观看Linsey Davis在美国东部时间7月31日星期一下午7点ABC新闻直播节目中对副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的完整采访。

哈里斯说，对生殖健康服务的限制导致数百万美国妇女面临严重的医疗紧急情况。她提到了一个妇女流产的轶事，由于她所在州的堕胎法，她被急诊室拒绝。

“她在流产的时候去了急诊室，拒绝治疗。她回去了，拒绝接受治疗。只有当她感染败血症时，他们才给她治疗。所以这就是我们国家正在实时发生的事情，”哈里斯说。

“我认为在这个问题上，至关重要的是，我们要明白这不是一些智力辩论，”她补充说。“在美国，每天都有人在受苦，很多情况下是默默的受苦。”

共和党领导人，如爱荷华州州长金·雷诺兹，吹捧他们的限制性法律因为他们执行最高法院的判决。

“我们不仅有责任在法律上保护未出生的胎儿，而且有责任改变在后罗伊案时代仍然存在的破坏性堕胎文化，”雷诺兹在两周前签署该州为期六周的堕胎禁令时说。

然而，哈里斯指出，自从最高法院的决定实施以来，美国人民在投票时已经推回了投票箱，投票反对限制和支持他们的领导人。

“所以我对发生的事情感到担忧，但我也对美国人民有信心，”她说。

哈里斯鼓励美国人走出去投票，如果他们担心更多的生殖健康限制，并说她希望以前对堕胎的保护可以恢复。

“国会有能力恢复最高法院取消的保护，”她说。“乔·拜登总统已经非常明确地表示，当这种情况发生时，他将签署这项协议。”

哈里斯，第一位黑人和南亚女性副总统，又一次批评佛罗里达州教育委员会一致通过有争议的黑人历史标准。在被批准的修改中，有一部分是“基准澄清”，其中有一项是“指导包括奴隶如何发展技能，在某些情况下，这些技能可以用于他们的个人利益。”

哈里斯说，这种想法是“荒谬的”，并重申不应该有关于这个国家奴隶制真相的“意识形态辩论”。

“我认为这只是一个人是否选择说出事实和真相的问题，”哈里斯说。“我不认为这是任何意识形态辩论的主题，可以说被奴役的人不会从奴隶制中受益，就这样。”

“有一些所谓的领导人和极端分子，他们试图在我们的国家进行不必要的辩论，我认为他们的意图是试图分裂我们美国人。停下来。停下来，”她补充道。

佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯称哈里斯对拟议课程的批评“令人愤慨”，并为该指令辩护，尽管他与该指令保持距离。

“我没有参与其中，”他上周表示。“但我认为他们正在做的是，我认为他们可能会让一些最终成为铁匠的人在以后的生活中做事。但事实是，所有这些都植根于任何事实，”补充说，“这些学者把这些放在一起。这不是任何政治上的事情。”

周五在爱荷华州的林肯晚宴上，德桑蒂斯加倍反驳，指责哈里斯“来到佛罗里达州试图创造一个虚假的故事。”

哈里斯本月还抨击共和党领导人正在进行的移民危机，并称一些州长将移民用巴士运送到其他城市和州的政策是“不人道的，令人愤慨的，非美国的”。

她重申了自己的批评，指出这些家庭在自己的国家和北上途中已经遭受了苦难。

“人类不应该被当作政治游戏中的棋子，”她说。

“一个非常明确的解决方案，一个非常重要的解决方案已经摆在我们面前很多年了。我们需要通过移民改革，”哈里斯补充道。

Harris raises alarm about abortion restrictions but has 'faith in the people of America'

Vice President Kamala Harris called out leaders in several states who she says have been diminishing the reproductive rights of women after last year'sSupreme Court decisionto overturn Roe v. Wade, but she expressed some hope that the American public will push back.

Harris sat down with ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis for an interview while visiting Iowa Friday where she spoke about the six-week abortion ban that the state's Republican governor recently signed into law, currently blocked by an Iowa judge.

Fifteen states haveceased nearly all abortion services.

Harris said she was concerned about what was going on in the country and criticized the state leaders for, she says, undermining women's health with these restrictions.

"There's something underlying this approach that states like Iowa have taken that really suggests that they're-- that they don't trust women to be able to know what's in their best interests and make the decision accordingly," the vice president said.

Watch Linsey Davis' full interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on ABC News Live Prime, Monday, July 31, at 7 p.m. ET.

Harris said that restrictions on reproductive health services have led to serious medical emergencies for millions of American women. She noted the anecdote of a woman who suffered a miscarriage and was rejected by an emergency room due to her state's abortion laws.

"She went to the emergency room while she was having a miscarriage, denied care. She went back, denied care. Only when she contracted sepsis did they give her care. So this is what's happening in real time in our country," Harris said.

"I think on this issue, it is critically important that we understand this is not some intellectual debate," she added. "Every day in America, there are people suffering, silently suffering in many cases."

Republican leaders, like Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, have touted theirrestrictive lawsas they implement the Supreme Court's decision.

"We have a responsibility not only to protect the unborn in law, but to change the destructive culture of abortion that still exists in a post-Roe world," Reynolds said at the signing of the state's six-week abortion ban two weeks ago.

However, Harris noted that the American people have pushed back at the ballot box as they implement when since the Supreme Court decision, voting against the restrictions and leaders who support them.

"So I am concerned about what's been happening, but I also have faith in the people of America," she said.

Harris encouraged Americans to get out and vote if they are concerned about more reproductive health restrictions and said she has hope that the previous protections on abortions can be restored.

"Congress has the ability to put back in place the protections that the Supreme Court took away," she said. "And President Joe Biden has been very clear, when that happens, he will sign it."

Harris, the first female Black and South Asian vice president, once againcriticizedcontroversial Black history standards unanimously approved by Florida's board of education. Among the changes approved was a section of "benchmark clarifications," and among those was one that states "instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit."

Harris said that notion was "ridiculous" and reiterated there should be no "ideological debate" over the truth about slavery in this country.

"I think that this is just a matter of whether one chooses to speak fact and truth or not," Harris said. "I don't think that this is subject to any ideological debate to say that people who are enslaved do not benefit from slavery, period."

"There are so-called leaders, extremists, who are attempting to require in our nation an unnecessary debate, with the intention, I believe, to try and divide us as Americans. Stop. Stop," she added.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has called Harris' criticism of the proposed curriculum "outrageous," and has defended the instruction despite distancing himself from it.

"I wasn't involved in it," he said last week. "But I think what they're doing is, I think that they're probably going to show some of the folks that eventually parlayed being a blacksmith into doing things later in life. But the reality is, all of that is rooted in whatever is factual," adding, "These were scholars that put that together. It was not anything that was done politically."

DeSantis doubled down on his pushback on Friday at the Lincoln Dinner in Iowa and accused Harris of "coming down to Florida trying to create a phony narrative."

Harris also slammed Republican leaders this month over the ongoing migrant crisis and called the policies of some governors shipping migrants by the busload to other cities and states "inhumane, outrageous and un-American."

She reiterated her criticism noting that these families have already suffered hardships in their home countries and during their travels north.

"Human beings should not be treated as pawns in a political game," she said.

"One very clear solution, a very significant solution has been in front of us for years now. We need to pass immigration reform," Harris added.
