华盛顿-华盛顿(美联社)副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯拜登竞选团队表示，在11月的选举中，生殖健康权利“岌岌可危”加大关注力度在对比民主党总统乔·拜登和共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普之前在这个问题上的立场时他们本周的辩论.
哈里斯发表评论时，竞选团队宣布将在战场州及更远的地方举行50多场活动，纪念周一最高法院成立两周年多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案的判决推翻了堕胎的联邦法律权利。拜登和他的盟友试图提醒选民，2022年具有里程碑意义的决定是由高等法院做出的，其中包括特朗普白宫任期内提名的三名保守派大法官。
哈里斯在接受MSNBC大学的联合采访时说:“每个人，无论男女，都应该明白，如果可以剥夺像对自己的身体做出决定这样的基本自由，也要意识到其他自由可能会受到威胁。”哈德利·杜瓦尔她是肯塔基州的堕胎权利倡导者，小时候被继父强奸。采访的部分内容于周日播出。
拜登竞选团队认为，堕胎权利可能会成为预计将是一场势均力敌的大选的一个令人振奋的问题。
特朗普以他的保守派基础为多布斯邀功，但如果他重返白宫，他不会支持宗教右翼支持者寻求的全国堕胎禁令。
四月，特朗普说，他相信这个问题应该由各州来决定。他后来在一次采访中表示，如果国会通过，他不会签署全国性的堕胎禁令。他有拒绝透露他的职位关于妇女获得避孕药米非司酮的问题。
在周六的一次竞选活动中，特朗普表示，他的政府对多布斯做了“令人惊讶的事情”，同时承认目前在这个问题上进一步施压的政治风险。
“每个选民都必须用心去做正确的事，但我们也必须当选，”他说。
拜登已经开始在戴维营为星期四晚上在亚特兰大的辩论进行私人准备。预计特朗普本周将在他的佛罗里达州庄园举行会议，作为非正式准备过程的一部分。
肯塔基州欧文斯伯勒的杜瓦尔她第一次公开讲述自己的故事是在去年秋天，当时她所在的州正在竞选州长，讨论堕胎限制的后果，尤其是那些对强奸或乱伦无一例外的限制。
周日，杜瓦尔还与第一夫人吉尔·拜登一起参加了匹兹堡的竞选集会，两人批评特朗普支持多布斯的决定。
“他认为我们可以被忽视，”拜登谈到特朗普时说。“他不知道，当我们的身体处于危险之中，当我们女儿的未来岌岌可危时，我们是不可动摇的，我们是不可阻挡的。"
杜瓦尔的家乡肯塔基州颁布了一项近乎全面的堕胎禁令多布斯案判决后。国家禁止堕胎，除非是为了挽救母亲的生命。它不包括由强奸或乱伦导致的怀孕例外。
特朗普本月早些时候在福克斯新闻频道接受采访时表示，一些州赋予堕胎权利，而另一些州则限制堕胎权利“一个美丽的东西。”
“我想问问他:告诉一个12岁的女孩，她一定要有那个强奸她的继父的孩子，这有什么好看的?”杜瓦尔说。
哈里斯计划周一在亚利桑那州和马里兰州参加竞选活动，纪念多布斯判决一周年。她的丈夫道格·艾姆霍夫将于周一前往密歇根。
马萨诸塞州参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦。代表拜登竞选团队前往威斯康辛州，同行的还有来自德克萨斯州的阿曼达·祖拉斯基最初否认堕胎在被告知她的病情意味着她的孩子无法存活后。Zurawski被迫等待，直到她被诊断患有危及生命的败血症，才被提供堕胎服务。
杜瓦尔在MSNBC接受采访时说:“如果有一名妇女处于生育年龄，那么她的生命在这次选举中就岌岌可危了。”。“如果你一生中从未投过民主党的票，那也没关系。这是放下架子，因为女性，我们没有太多的选择，你至少可以选择你可以投票给谁。”
美联社通常不透露性侵受害者的身份，但22岁的杜瓦尔选择了公开身份，公开讲述了她的经历及其与堕胎辩论的联系。
'Everything is at stake' for reproductive rights in 2024, Harris says
WASHINGTON --WASHINGTON (AP) —Vice President Kamala Harrissays “everything is at stake” with reproductive health rights in November's election as the Biden campaignsteps up its focuson contrasting the positions taken by Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump on the issue beforetheir debate this week.
Harris' comments come as the campaign announced it would hold more than 50 events in battleground states and beyond to mark Monday's second anniversary of the Supreme Court'sDobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decisionthat overturned the federal legal right to an abortion. Biden and his allies are trying to remind voters that the landmark decision in 2022 was made by a high court that included three conservative justices nominated during Trump's White House tenure.
“Every person of whatever gender should understand that, if such a fundamental freedom such as the right to make decisions about your own body can be taken, be aware of what other freedoms may be at stake,” Harris said in a joint MSNBC interview withHadley Duvall, an abortion rights advocate from Kentucky who was raped by her stepfather as a child. Part of the interview aired Sunday.
The Biden campaign believes that abortion rights can be a galvanizing issue in what is expected to be a close general election.
Trump has taken credit for Dobbs with his conservative base while stopping short of supporting a national abortion ban sought by supporters on the religious right, should he return to the White House.
In April,Trump said he believed the issueshould be left to the states. He later stated in an interview that he would not sign a nationwide ban on abortion if it were passed by Congress. He hasdeclined to detail his positionon women’s access to the abortion pill mifepristone.
At a campaign event Saturday, Trump said his administration did “something that was amazing” with Dobbs, while acknowledging the political peril of pressing further on the issue at the moment.
“Every voter has to go with your heart and do what’s right, but we also have to get elected,” he said.
Biden has begun private preparations at Camp David for the debate Thursday night in Atlanta. Trump is expected to hold meetings at his Florida estate this week as part of an informal prep process.
Duvall, of Owensboro, Kentucky, first told her story publicly last fall in a campaign ad during the governor’s race in her home state discussing the consequences of abortion restrictions, particularly those without exceptions for rape or incest.
Duvall also joined first lady Jill Biden at a Pittsburgh campaign rally Sunday where the two criticized Trump for supporting the Dobbs decision.
“He thinks we can be ignored,” Biden said of Trump. “He doesn’t know that when our bodies are on the line, when our daughters' futures are at stake, we are immovable and we are unstoppable.”
Duvall's home state ofKentucky has enacted a near-total abortion banfollowing the Dobbs decision. The state bans abortions except when carried out to save the mother’s life. It does not include exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape or incest.
Trump in a Fox News interview earlier this month said the way some states are enshrining abortion rights and others are restricting them was"a beautiful thing to watch.”
“I would like to ask him: What is so beautiful about telling a 12-year-old girl that she must have the baby of her stepfather who raped her?” Duvall said.
Harris is scheduled to mark Monday's anniversary of the Dobbs decision with campaign events in Arizona and Maryland. Her husband, Doug Emhoff, is headed to Michigan on Monday.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was heading to Wisconsin on behalf of the Biden campaign with Amanda Zurawski, a Texas woman who wasinitially denied an abortionafter being told she had a condition that meant her baby would not survive. Zurawski was forced to wait until she was diagnosed with a life-threatening case of sepsis before being provided an abortion.
“If there is a woman who is in that reproductive age, then her life is at stake during this election,” Duvall said in the MSNBC interview. “And it does not matter if you have never voted Democrat in your life. It’s get off your high horse, because women, we don’t get to choose a whole lot, and you at least can choose who you can vote for.”
The Associated Press does not normally identify sexual assault victims, but Duvall, 22, chose to be identified and has spoken out publicly about her experience and its connection to the debate over abortion.
