During the recent presidential debate, former President Donald Trump repeatedly avoided giving a clear stance on whether he would veto a national abortion ban, contradicting his running mate JD Vance's previous statement that he would. Trump emphasized that the issue should be decided by states, following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. Vice President Kamala Harris firmly supported reinstating the protections of Roe v. Wade and criticized Trump's false claims about Democrats supporting 'post-birth abortions.' The debate highlighted the stark contrast between the two candidates on abortion, with Trump accused of spreading misinformation and struggling to provide a consistent position, while Harris aimed for clarity on protecting abortion rights.
