鈥淚f elected, Vice President Harris has publicly committed to work with Congress to enact federal legislation to ensure every American in every state can access abortion care when they need it.

We need bold and urgent action to put an end to the enormous harms unleashed by extreme bans and secure federal abortion rights and access for all. Regardless of who is president, the 老澳门开奖结果 will continue to advocate and fight to secure the right to abortion across the country.鈥
