Vice President Kamala Harris will speak in Maryland on Monday on the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to a news release from President Joe Biden’s campaign.
The time and location have not yet been announced.
During the Democratic campaign event, Harris will highlight “the threat a second Donald Trump presidency would pose to reproductive freedom nationwide,” the campaign said in the release.
The 1973 Roe decision made abortion a constitutional right. The court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson in June 2022 shifted the onus to states to decide whether such services are legal.
A Maryland ballot question in the Nov. 5 general election will ask voters whether reproductive freedom should be enshrined in the state constitution.
