Women impacted by abortion restrictions to campaign for Biden in NC this week
Women impacted by abortion restrictions to campaign for Biden in NC this weekRALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – The Biden campaign will launch a multi-state tour this week beginning in North Carolina, featuring two women impacted by restrictions on abortion in southern states, CBS 17 has learned.
Amanda Zurawski and Kaitlyn Joshua will travel to Durham, Charlotte and Winston-Salem sharing their personal experiences about medical complications they faced in their home states when they say they were denied care while pregnant.
The tour comes as former President Donald Trump faces questions about what restrictions he would pursue if elected and said he would be making an announcement this week on abortion policy following a court decision in Florida that will allow a six-week ban on abortion to take effect next month.
Trump called the overturning of Roe v. Wade “a miracle” while campaigning in Iowa in January as he talked about how his three U.S. Supreme Court picks helped make that happen.
“Abortion is on the ballot in November and we’re making it clear to voters the threat Donald Trump poses if re-elected,” said Dory MacMillan, North Carolina communications director for the Biden campaign, in a statement. “Women across the South, including here in North Carolina, have made it clear we want our rights protected, and we’re grateful to Amanda and Kaitlyn for sharing their stories and reminding us what’s at stake in this election.”
