Watch: Trump Calls Kamala Harris Out to Her Face About Abortion Position, Leaves Her Scrambling in Heated Moment
During a recent presidential debate in Philadelphia, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris engaged in a heated discussion regarding abortion policy following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Trump emphasized that abortion decisions should be left to the states, while Harris asserted her commitment to restoring federal protections for abortion rights. She accused Trump of intending to sign a national abortion ban, an accusation Trump vehemently denied, claiming there was no reason for such a ban since the states can make their own decisions.
The debate featured a contentious exchange where Trump pressed Harris about her stance on late-term abortions, questioning whether she would support abortions in the later months of pregnancy. Harris failed to provide a clear answer, which Trump highlighted. He also pointed out that under Roe v. Wade, states were not mandated to prohibit late-term abortions, contradicting Harris’s claims. The debate showcased stark differences in their approaches, with Trump advocating for state-level decision-making and Harris pushing for reinstating federal abortion rights, which she implied should have no restrictions.
Trump appeared to effectively counter Harris’s assertions, using the debate to communicate his position on state rights concerning abortion while calling out Harris for her lack of clarity on restrictions.
Former President Donald Trump managed to smoke Vice President Kamala Harris out on where she really stands on abortion during Tuesday night’s presidential debate in Philadelphia.
Trump first articulated his position that following the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in the summer of 2022, the issue has returned to the states for the people to decide.
Harris pledged if elected to reinstitute Roe by federal law, if Congress passed the legislation.
The vice president then claimed that Trump would sign a national abortion ban.
Trump responded, “There she goes again. It’s a lie. I’m not signing a ban, and there’s no reason to sign a ban because we’ve gotten what everybody wanted.”
🚨WOW! RIGHTFUL PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST FACT CHECKED KAMALA HARRIS LIVE ON STAGE AT THE DEBATE!
“Well, there she goes again! It’s a lie.”
Kamala Harris, NOT Donald Trump, is a LIAR!

Harris did not respond if she would allow any restrictions on abortion, beyond saying she supports “the protections” of Roe.
Trump then questioned, “Will she allow abortion in the eight month, ninth month, seventh month?”
Harris interjected, “Come on,” which of course was not an answer.
“Would you do that?” Trump followed up.
He then turned to the moderator, “Why don’t you ask her that question?”

Harris’ mic was left unmuted, in violation of the debate rules, and she began to talk over Trump, wanting him to answer whether he would veto a national abortion ban. He had previously stated it would not be an issue, because his position is that it belongs with the states to decide.
Trump then rightly pointed out under Roe v. Wade, “You could do abortions in the seventh month, the eighth month, the ninth month.”
Harris asserted, “That’s not true.”
Oh, but it is, and as the former attorney general of California and a U.S. senator who served on the Judiciary Committee that approves federal judges, she knows that. No fact check of her from the ABC moderators, of course.
Roe allowed states to ban abortions in the third trimester, but it did not require them to, as The New York Times reported.
The Democratic House passed legislation in 2022 that would have taken that ability away from states to protect late-term pre-born babies, as well as other restrictions allowed under Roe. The bill went beyond Roe, and there can be little doubt that Harris would sign such legislation into law based on her fervent desire to make obtaining abortions a federal right.
The Washington Post reported Harris opposed a bill that would have banned abortions after 20 weeks into the pregnancy.
ABC spent a lot of time covering the abortion issue, probably to try to assist Harris, but Trump got the better of the exchange.
He was able to articulate his view to millions that he supports leaving the issue with the states, while highlighting that Harris wants a Roe, no restrictions regime reinstated.
