Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Florida on Wednesday just hours after a controversial ban on most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy goes into effect in the state, as the Biden campaign ratchets up its strategy of blaming former President Donald Trump for abortion restrictions being adopted across the country. Harris, who has been leading the charge for the Biden White House and campaign on the issue of reproductive rights, is set to speak at a campaign event in Jacksonville and will be introduced by a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, according to a campaign official. The vice president plans to explicitly blame Trump for the Supreme Court’s historic overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 and for a slew of abortion bans that some states have adopted since, the official said. She will also discuss how abortion bans like the one going into effect in Florida on Wednesday threaten medical providers with criminal prosecution. “Today at the stroke of midnight, another Trump abortion ban went into effect here in Florida,” Harris will say, according to excerpts provided to CNN. “This ban applies to many women before they even know they are pregnant – which tells us the extremists who wrote this ban don’t even know how a woman’s body works. Or they just don’t care.” Harris also plans to address Trump’s recently published comments to Time magazine, in which he did not object when asked whether he was “comfortable” with states punishing women who undergo abortions where it is banned. “I don’t have to be comfortable or uncomfortable,” Trump said. “The states are going to make that decision. The states are going to have to be comfortable or uncomfortable, not me.”
