.VP Kamala Harris is slated to give a speech on abortion rights in Des Moines, Iowa, the same day that more than a dozen Republican presidential candidates descend on the city to attend the Iowa Republican Party's biggest political event of the year.
She will discuss abortion rights in the state with local activists, healthcare providers, and patients, continuing the conversation she started during a roundtable at Grand View University in March.A Democratic Party official said Harris's visit wasn't planned specifically to draw attention away from the GOP contenders' visits but just happened to work out that way. Her visit was more so prompted by Iowa's recent passage of a six-week abortion ban.
Nearly all the Republican candidates have committed to signing federal abortion limits or acknowledged a federal role in abortion policy. The law was blocked soon after its signing by Polk County District Judge Joseph Seidlin. In the ruling, he specified that the Iowa Board of Medicine is permitted to move forward with outlining rules for enforcing the measure.
