Kamala Harris appears on 'Don't Call Her Daddy' podcast for 40-minute interview

"You don't have to abandon your faith or your deeply held beliefs to agree the government shouldn't be telling her what to do."

Kamala Harris has appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast for an interview with host Alex Cooper.

Over the course of their 40-minute conversation Cooper and the vice president and Democratic presidential nominee discussed abortion, how women's safety can be improved in the U.S., and Donald Trump's recent attempts to win over female voters by saying he'll be their "protector".

"So he who, when he was president, hand selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo protections of Roe v. Wade, and they did just as he intended, and there are now 20 states with Trump abortion bans, including bans that make no exception for rape or incest, which we discussed, which means you're telling a survivor of a crime of a violation to their body that they don't have a right to make a decision about what happens to their body next, which is immoral. So this is the same guy that is now saying that? This is the same guy who said that women should be punished for having abortions? This is the same guy that uses the kind of language that he does to describe women?" says Harris in response to Trump's comments, before talking about the horrible realities faced by women living in states where abortion is banned.
