While speaking on the 51st anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump for saying he’s “proud” for his role in ending Roe:
“And so, as we face this crisis, as we are clear-eyed about the harm, let us also understand who is responsible, shall we? The former president handpicked three Supreme Court justices because he intended for them to overturn Roe. He intended for them to take your freedoms. And it is a decision he brags about. Several weeks ago, he said that for years ‘they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated,’ but, he said, ‘I did it and I’m proud to have done it.’ Proud? Proud? Proud that women across our nation are suffering? Proud that women have been robbed of a fundamental freedom? Proud that doctors could be thrown in prison for caring for their patients? That young women today have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers? How dare he?”
