Trump claims he will protect women whether they like it or not, Harris calls it offensive
Kamala Harris criticized Donald Trump’s recent comment about protecting women “whether they like it or not,” stating it shows he does not understand women's rights to make their own decisions. She called the remark offensive. Trump made the statement at a rally in Wisconsin, despite advice from aides to avoid it. He has been vocal about his commitment to “protecting women” while also facing backlash for his past support of overturning federal abortion rights. Trump's stance on abortion has been inconsistent. He has previously stated women should be punished for having abortions but recently promised to veto a national abortion ban, suggesting states should regulate the issue instead.
