Tuesday night's presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump focused heavily on abortion rights and the aftermath of the Supreme Court's 2022 _Dobbs_ decision that overturned _Roe v. Wade_. Trump repeated his false claim that Democrats support infanticide, and claimed that allowing individual states to set their own laws on abortion was an improvement. Harris highlighted the risk to pregnant people now navigating a patchwork of laws and restrictions in the U.S. and promised to restore protections for reproductive rights as president. "Kamala Harris was finally out there channeling the outrage and the profound sense of violation that many people across this country feel in the wake of the _Dobbs_ decision," says Amy Littlefield, the abortion access correspondent for _The Nation_.
