Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump in his typical all-caps style, lashed out at Kamala Harris and the Democrats on Truth Social, targeting their stance on abortion and women’s rights. In a lengthy post, Trump on Saturday claimed that women in the US are worse off now than they were four years ago, citing issues like poverty, health, safety, and mental well-being. He promised swift action to reverse these trends if re-elected.
"Women are poorer than they were four years ago, are less healthy...
more depressed...
and less optimistic," Trump wrote. He vowed to restore women’s happiness and security, stating that abortion should remain a state issue, with exceptions for cases like rape, incest, and the life of the mother. Trump criticised the Democrats for supporting late-term abortions and said he would protect women "at a level never seen before.
" "I will protect women at a level never seen before. They will finally be healthy, hopeful, safe, and secure. Their lives will be happy, beautiful, and great again!" Trump said in his post.
This post follows heated exchanges between Trump and Harris over abortion rights. During the recent debate, Harris sharply criticised Trump’s support for state-level abortion bans, some of which do not allow exceptions for rape or incest. She condemned these restrictions as immoral, arguing that no government should control a woman's bodily autonomy.
Harris also reaffirmed her commitment to reinstating Roe v Wade, the Supre.
