Harris to speak on abortion in Georgia after blaming state law for two mothers' deaths

Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to speak about abortion in Atlanta on Friday following the publication of two stories about mothers in Georgia who died as a result of complications from chemical abortions following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

Harris’s speech about the deaths of Amber Thurman, 28, and Candi Miller, 41, is part of an effort from her campaign to make abortion rights the focus of the race for the White House before Election Day in November, according to campaign officials who spoke to the New York Times under conditions of anonymity.
