@KamalaHarris I have often challenged Trump and so-called leaders in states who say that an abortion ban is in the best interest of women and children yet stay silent on maternal mortality.

The hypocrisy abounds.

@KamalaHarris When Donald Trump ripped away Roe v. Wade, he ripped away a fundamental right granted to you as an American—it didn’t matter where you lived.

@KamalaHarris Black women are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications in the United States.

During Black Maternal Health Week, we must speak truth about this crisis as we continue the fight to protect our nation's mothers and children.

@KamalaHarris The pictures from the previous post.

@KamalaHarris Trump is the reason millions of Arizonans will soon live under an even more extreme abortion ban which fails to protect women even when their health is at risk or in tragic cases of rape or incest.
