Harris emphasized the importance of turning out to vote in November to protect abortion access so that places like Maryland remain havens for reproductive healthcare.
Pointing to the statistic that one-in-three American women live in a state with abortion restrictions, she said: “Today our daughters know fewer rights than their grandmothers. This is a healthcare crisis, and we all know who to blame: Donald Trump.”
Making her case that Trump was “guilty” of stripping abortion access, which was previewed by the campaign before her appearance, Harris said Trump appointed three supreme court justices with the intention of overturning Roe v Wade.
“It was premeditated,” Harris said from a stage, where a sign that said “Trust Women” hung behind her.
“Trump has not denied, much less shown remorse, for his actions,” she added.
Later this afternoon, Harris will go to battleground state Arizona for a second event marking the Dobbs anniversary.
