During a recent presidential debate in Philadelphia, former President Donald Trump took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris and her radical stance on abortion, exposing her true colors on a matter that has become a cornerstone of conservative values. With the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, Trump reinforced that the issue of abortion now rests with the states—where it belongs. This was not just a statement of policy; it was a rallying cry for states’ rights and the voice of the people.
Harris, clearly caught off guard, doubled down on her commitment to resurrect Roe v. Wade at the federal level, should Congress approve it. This has led many to wonder whether she stands for any restrictions on abortion at all. In her frantic response, she resorted to unfounded claims, alleging that Trump was preparing to sign a national abortion ban. But Trump, with characteristic flair, quickly dismissed her accusations, highlighting that there was no reason for a ban since the Supreme Court had effectively given power back to the states—an assertion Harris couldn’t contest without further exposing her extreme views.

As the debate progressed, Trump didn’t miss a beat, pressing Harris on the uncomfortable specifics of her stance. Would she allow abortion in the seventh or even the ninth month? Instead of addressing the question, Harris attempted to deflect, demonstrating her inability to own up to the reality of late-term abortions—a topic most Americans are understandably concerned about. Her evasive answer? A casual “Come on,” which further illustrated her discomfort with the reality she was being pushed to confront.
The debate got even messier when Harris, desperate for airtime, tried to interject over Trump, repeatedly disregarding the debate rules that clearly favored a fair exchange. But Trump remained composed, reminding viewers that under Roe v. Wade, late-term abortions were permissible. Harris’s response was to say that was “not true simply,” a classic case of a politician sticking her head in the sand instead of facing the facts. As the former Attorney General of California, her knowledge on this subject should hold weight, yet it seemed like she was more interested in avoiding accountability than providing clear answers.
Even with the mainstream media—such as ABC—working overtime to assist Harris by focusing intensely on the abortion issue, Trump managed to emerge victorious in this exchange. His position was clear: abortion decisions should be made at the state level, while Harris animatedly pushed for a federal mandate that would effectively eliminate any restrictions on abortion. The debate served as a revealing moment not just for the candidates but also for voters who value the sanctity of life and the importance of rejecting extremist policies that overreach into personal choices.
As Trump’s message resonated with millions watching at home, the divide between conservative and liberal ideologies on abortion became painfully obvious. With Harris advocating for no restrictions—echoing the controversial bill passed by the Democratic House to remove state powers in regulating late-term abortions—Trump proved once again that he remains a standard-bearer for conservative values in a landscape increasingly dominated by radical leftist narratives.
