Vice President Kamala Harris is set to speak in Maryland on Monday to mark the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, as announced by President Joe Biden’s campaign. The exact time and location of the event have not been disclosed yet.
Harris is expected to address the threat to reproductive freedom in the country under a potential second term for former President Donald Trump during the Democratic campaign event. The 1973 Roe decision established abortion as a constitutional right, but the recent Dobbs v. Jackson ruling has shifted the authority to states to determine the legality of such services.
In Maryland, a ballot question in the upcoming Nov. 5 general election will ask voters whether reproductive freedom should be protected in the state constitution. The state has been highlighted as an “anchor” for abortion rights, according to the US Health and Human Services secretary.
The event featuring Vice President Harris is likely to draw attention to the ongoing debate over reproductive rights in the country and the potential impact of future Supreme Court decisions on the issue. Stay tuned for more updates on this important event.
