周二，副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的竞选团队在前总统唐纳德·特朗普的后院佛罗里达州西棕榈滩开始了为期一周的50站“生殖自由巴士之旅”。
竞选团队表示，“生育权故事讲述者”将沿途加入竞选代理人，以帮助强调哈里斯-瓦尔兹竞选团队与特朗普及其竞选伙伴万斯参议员之间在这个问题上的分歧。
妇女的生殖权利是促使郊区妇女投票的一个关键问题，自20世纪90年代以来一直是焦点最高法院驳回了堕胎的宪法权利这是全国近50年来的法律。
哈里斯-瓦尔兹竞选经理朱莉·查韦斯·罗德里格斯(Julie Chavez Rodriguez)在一份声明中写道:“我们的竞选活动将在他们的社区会见选民，强调这次选举对生殖自由的重要性，并向他们展示哈里斯-瓦尔兹竞选团队推动我们国家前进的愿景，这与唐纳德·特朗普拖我们后腿的计划形成鲜明对比。”
就在特朗普宣布一项计划几天后，巴士之旅开始了全面的体外受精新政策提案承诺免费提供昂贵的治疗。这位前总统还没有提供任何关于他将如何资助该倡议的具体细节。
随着11月的临近，特朗普的举措被视为向那些郊区女性示好的一种方式。
周五，一直在为哈里斯竞选的民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦在与记者的电话中说，“美国妇女不傻”，他们明白这一承诺来自特朗普，特朗普一直吹嘘自己对最高法院驳回罗伊诉韦德案的裁决负有责任。
沃伦说:“是唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)为任何极端主义法官或极端主义州立法机构在堕胎和试管婴儿没有法律保护的情况下禁止试管婴儿打开了大门。”
周二的巴士之旅在西棕榈滩开始，距离特朗普在Mar-a-Lago的家不远。
“现在，我的朋友们，我问你们，还有什么地方比唐纳德·特朗普的后院更适合启动哈里斯/瓦尔兹生殖自由巴士之旅?”佛罗里达州民主党众议员黛比·乏色曼·舒尔茨说。
民主党参议员艾米·克洛布查尔在活动中发言，呼吁妇女倾听她们的声音。
“美国人一次又一次地向我们表明，他们不会容忍我们的女儿比她们的母亲和祖母拥有更少权利的国家，他们认为女性有权做出自己的医疗保健决定，而不是政治家，”克洛布查尔说。
查韦斯罗德里格斯说，该运动是围绕妇女的生殖权利动员。
“今天，通过发起这次巴士之旅，我们提醒特朗普，通过剥夺我们的生殖自由并将其付诸投票，他将拥有难以置信的能量和组织能力，他将不得不与之抗衡。”
据该运动称，在巴士巡回赛的晚些时候，生殖权利倡导者阿曼达·祖拉夫斯基、哈德利·杜瓦尔和凯特琳·乔舒亚也会在整个巡回赛中出现。
到目前为止，哈里斯-沃尔兹竞选团队已经在亚利桑那州、内华达州、佛罗里达州和乔治亚州安排了巴士巡回活动，整个秋季还会有更多的活动。
这个选举周期，包括关键的战场州亚利桑那州和内华达州在内的七个州将在11月就堕胎相关的投票倡议进行投票。
根据《纽约时报》和锡耶纳在8月份公布的民意调查堕胎是摇摆州所有注册选民的三大问题之一，14%的注册选民表示这是决定他们今年11月投票的最重要问题。
特朗普在过去一年中对堕胎的立场有时会动摇，他最近批评了佛罗里达州为期六周的堕胎禁令。
“我将投票决定我们需要超过六周的时间，”他说上个月对NBC新闻说.
他的竞选团队试图在特朗普澄清他将在11月对佛罗里达州的第四修正案(也被称为“堕胎权倡议”)投反对票之前收回这一评论，尽管他继续声称六周的禁令“太短了”。
这不是哈里斯第一次在竞选活动中关注生育权。在乔·拜登总统以前的竞选活动中，她已经被邀请领导生殖权利的讨论。今年1月，在罗诉韦德案51周年纪念日，她踏上了“生殖自由之旅”，在佛罗里达州和亚利桑那州停留。
Harris campaign kicks off reproductive rights tour in Florida
Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign kicked off a weekslong 50-stop "reproductive freedom bus tour" across battleground states in West Palm Beach, Florida -- former President Donald Trump's backyard -- on Tuesday.
The campaign said "reproductive rights storytellers" will join campaign surrogates along the route to help emphasize the split screen on the issue between the Harris-Walz campaign and Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance.
Women's reproductive rights are a key voter issue driving suburban women to the polls, and has been a spotlight since theSupreme Court overruled the constitutional right to abortionthat had been the law nationwide for almost 50 years.
"Our campaign is hitting the road to meet voters in their communities, underscore the stakes of this election for reproductive freedom, and present them with the Harris-Walz ticket's vision to move our country forward, which stands in stark contrast to Donald Trump's plans to drag us back," Harris-Walz Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez wrote in a statement.
The bus tour began just days after Trump announced asweeping new policy proposal on in vitro fertilization, promising to make the costly treatments free. The former president has not yet provided any specific details about how he would fund the initiative.
Trump's initiative is seen as a way to court those suburban women as November approaches.
On a phone call with reporters on Friday, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has been campaigning for Harris, said "American women are not stupid" and that they understand the promise is coming from Trump, who has consistently bragged about being responsible for the Supreme Court's decision to overrule Roe v. Wade.
"It was Donald Trump who opened the door for any extremist judge or extremist state legislature to ban IVF without legal protection for abortion and IVF," Warren said.
Tuesday's bus tour kicked off in West Palm Beach -- not far from Trump's home in Mar-a-Lago.
"Now my friends, I ask you, what better place to kick off the Harris/Walz reproductive freedom bus tour than in Donald Trump's backyard?" Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat, said.
Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar spoke at the event and called on women to have their voices heard.
"Americans have shown us time and time again that they will not tolerate a country where our daughters have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers, and they believe that women have the right to make their own health care decisions and not politicians," Klobuchar said.
