Vice President Kamala Harris marked the one-year anniversary of Dobbs v. Jackson by blasting North Carolina's newly passed abortion law, which would prohibit most abortions after 12 weeks' gestation, calling it an 'extreme ban.'
Ms. Harris, speaking to supporters Saturday at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, decried red-state laws that restrict abortion access, including Senate Bill 20, which“Next week, overruling the will of the people, North Carolina will be the latest state with an extreme ban, in spite of the best efforts of Gov. Roy Cooper,” Ms. Harris told the crowd, according to the Charlotte Observer.
Ms. Harris characterized the year since the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs decision as a time of “chaos.” In the past year, 24 states have ushered in laws restricting abortion, while 15 states have moved to expand abortion access, creating a stark divide on the highly charged issue between the red and blue states.
