As Florida's new six-week abortion ban takes effect, Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden have strongly criticized former President Donald Trump, attributing the restrictive legislation to his influence and Supreme Court appointments. The law, which criminalizes abortions after six weeks as a third-degree felony, has sparked widespread political responses, with Democrats pledging to fight for reproductive rights and linking the ban to Trump's policies. Florida health-care regulators have also issued emergency rules to address medical conditions that pose dangers to pregnant women or unborn children under the new law.

Let’s be clear: without access to safe & legal reproductive healthcare, women will die. My new legislation opposes rolling back the clock & standing between a woman, her doctor, & her faith. https://t.co/XUSCkr5yAa
Wallace: None of these extreme abortion bans would be happening if Donald Trump had not delivered on his promise to overturn Roe v. Wade. It'll get worse if he's elected to a second term as president. Trump told TIME that if he's reelected he would allow states to monitor women's… https://t.co/Ogg7EsRbbf
Absolutely chilling. Remember: this kind of abusive attempt to control women's lives and prevent them from traveling out of state for health care is happening because Donald Trump overturned Roe—and he's made clear he's fine with states doing anything they want to punish women. https://t.co/1DOaD28d1L
MSNBC: The Biden campaign is out with a new ad calling out Donald Trump for wanting to allow states to monitor women's pregnancies and punish them if they get abortions. It's an effective ad. It's very powerful https://t.co/sq9jcMR6Gv
Trump said he wanted states to monitor womens' pregnancies. If this isn't a gross breach of privacy and a total injustice to women on every front, we don't know what is. @TaraSetmayer and @TheRickWilson discuss on the latest episode of #TheBreakdown. 💻: https://t.co/sSjQKJDrql https://t.co/dlU4Jo0UUd
Two years after a leaked draft of a U.S. Supreme Court opinion signaled that the nation's abortion landscape was about to shift dramatically, the issue is still consuming the nation's courts, legislatures and political campaigns. https://t.co/JEbeVv3fED

LET ME BE CLEAR Donald Trump is the reason for the Florida abortion ban. These bans do nothing to protect women and only put their lives in danger. @HouseDemocrats are working to protect #reproductivefreedom. https://t.co/y7WzYOhyZc
Democrats are fighting for reproductive freedoms. Republicans are working to take them away. Now is the time to pass our ACCESS Act to ensure New Mexico’s medical providers can continue to offer reproductive healthcare for families in our state. https://t.co/GQjBK4BVIG
'Every woman in every state is at risk': New Biden ad hits Trump on abortion https://t.co/aV0xkV2wHW
The Biden campaign released a new ad today in battleground states (including Nevada) focused on reproductive freedom. The 30-second ad has English and Spanish versions and will air in the Las Vegas + Reno markets. Here's a link to the English version: https://t.co/vZsM9QRyaC
Right now, SCOTUS is divided on a case about whether abortions should be permitted to stabilize patients in medical emergencies – a decision that should only be between a woman and her doctor. We must protect reproductive rights at the federal level NOW. https://t.co/bPeW3W5l4A
Trump said that states have the right to monitor pregnant women to enforce these bans, and to punish pregnant women for seeking out abortion care. Now, 4 million women in Florida have fewer reproductive freedoms than they had before. It’s outrageous. https://t.co/qpwEFrwy5g

Trump bears direct responsibility for Florida's ban on abortions after a mere six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant. It could get worse if he is re-elected. https://t.co/bpyscXZl4S
"'Be clear: Donald Trump did this. He handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court because he intended for them to overturn Roe, and they did as intended,' [Vice PresidentHarris] added. 'And he says he is proudly responsible for it.'" https://t.co/GMcIKDJHWi

Today for the 2nd anniversary of the Dobbs leak, we are reminded that a President’s power to nominate to the Supreme Court is the power to reshape the fabric of this nation. Donald Trump appointed the Justices that overturned reproductive rights and we must never forget it.
Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wade. Because of him, 1 in 3 women in America already live under dangerous abortion bans that put their lives at risk and threaten doctors with prosecution. It will only get worse if he is elected. https://t.co/7eZl7w9uUz
Abortion access has become Democrats’ rallying cry on the campaign trail with President Biden and the party’s other candidates pledging to make Roe a federal law. https://t.co/Tb3jcP6t1T
In America, 1 in 3 women of reproductive age live in a state with an abortion ban in effect. Donald Trump is the architect of this health care crisis.

This week, Florida’s extreme abortion ban went into effect, criminalizing reproductive health care before many women know they are pregnant. Make no mistake—Republicans are responsible for ripping reproductive freedom away from women.
Patients and their doctors should be the ones making health decisions. Not politicians. On the anniversary of the Dobbs leak, I’m speaking out and speaking up for our reproductive freedom. https://t.co/6EsW7PW8Xk
Abortion is healthcare, and healthcare is a human right. We must fight against the MAGA extremist attacks on reproductive healthcare and make abortion accessible for everyone.
The freedoms to access health care, start a family, and survive pregnancy are integral to our democracy as @mayawiley says here. That's why there is more support than ever for reproductive rights. Elected officials must listen to voters and protect abortion access. https://t.co/DahEz5luoi
About 49% of those polled wanted to see federal action to protect women’s abortion access, while 37% agreed the issue of abortion should be left to the states. https://t.co/Tb3jcP6t1T
65 percent of Americans disapprove of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade almost two years later. With states enacting more and more extreme laws, restoring the right to reproductive freedom is critical. https://t.co/MhNVWoKTne
Mr. Biden jumpstarted the criticism before sunrise from Washington. In a statement, he slammed Mr. Trump for opening the door to the Florida law “banning reproductive health care before many women even know they are pregnant.” https://t.co/vuVy5O5R3G
Two years ago today, Americans were made aware that an extremist Supreme Court was going to overturn Roe v. Wade. Now, 1 in every 3 women of reproductive age lives in a state that bans abortion. This is all Donald Trump's fault.

Two years ago, the draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked from @SCOTUS. Trump’s extreme judges on the Supreme Court were specifically chosen to strip away women’s reproductive freedoms and they did exactly that.
Two years ago today, the Dobbs ruling leaked & we got our first glimpse of the coming health care crisis. Since then, many GOP states have enacted extreme abortion bans with devastating consequences for women. I'll keep pushing to pass my bipartisan bill to restore Roe.
The extreme state abortion bans we’re seeing are the direct result of Republicans’ decades-long campaign to annihilate Roe. And many of the same Republicans pushing them are on record supporting a national abortion ban. Democrats won't stop fighting for reproductive rights.
Sen. @ewarren: Under Project 2025, Trump's allies are trying to map out a way to implement a nationwide abortion ban. Trump brags about how he is the one responsible for overturning Roe. He's the reason women need to wait until they're in sepsis to get an abortion. By contrast,… https://t.co/Ii8kVe26fG
Two years ago today, the Dobbs decision was leaked and Americans learned that Roe v. Wade was set to be overturned. We knew the consequences of this ruling would be chilling — and since then, almost two dozen states have made it harder for women to access reproductive care.
Donald Trump hand-picked three Supreme Court justices intending for them to overturn Roe v. Wade. He is responsible for the harm that is happening to women every day in our country. @JoeBiden and I will stop him and restore women's reproductive freedom.

Remember how you felt, two years ago today, when the news came out that the Supreme Court would overturn Roe and set back women’s rights by generations? The man responsible is on the ballot again in November. Vote accordingly.
