Vice President Kamala Harris spoke Saturday about the implications of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Harris called the court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization to end 50 years of nationwide abortion access"outrageous." Harris and Underwood have worked together on the issue of maternal health care. A new study found maternal mortality rates in the U.S. have climbed 33% since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, with Black and Hispanic women dying at higher rates than White women.
"Don't be overwhelmed to the point that we are disheartened and we think that we cannot do anything about it," Harris replied."It's the nature of it that these gains will not be permanent, so we must be vigilant and we must remember we're always going to have to fight to maintain these rights."
