Kamala Harris slammed Donald Trump for “very offensive” remarks about women as she pressed her case that his misogyny has no place in 21st-century America.
Harris targeted Trump over his remarks when he told a Wednesday rally he wanted to “protect” American women “whether the women like it or not.”
She branded the comments “offensive to everybody.”
She slammed Trump as a man who “simply does not respect the freedom of women or the intelligence of women to be able to make decisions about their own lives.”
“And we know if he were elected, he would ban abortion nationwide, restrict access to birth control, put IVF treatments at risk, and for states, listen to this, to monitor women’s pregnancies.”
Reproductive rights have served as a rallying cry for Democrats — and an Achilles’ heel of sorts for Trump — since the conservative-dominated US Supreme Court ended the federal right to abortion in 2022.
Polling for this year’s election shows a wide gender gap, with women voters tilting toward Harris, and Trump earning more support from men so that abortion could play a determining role in the outcome.
