Bream questioned Walz about changes to Minnesota law that conservatives have falsely claimed will allow doctors to let babies “born alive” during exceedingly rare abortions performed after 21 weeks of gestation. Walz called those questions a “distraction” from discussions about Republican-led efforts to restrict abortion both at the state level and nationally, which even when organized to allow for legal exceptions in the case of life-threatening emergencies have led to real, tangible examples of women dyinng and being seriously injured by delays of essential care. This is bad policy.” Referring to Donald Trump calling the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade a “beautiful thing”, Walz said that “it’s not a beautiful thing to see women dying. It’s not a beautiful thing to put doctors at risk of being imprisoned.” The Harris-Walz campaign has moved to highlight examples of women injured or killed by delays in lifesaving abortion care due to Republican-led anti-abortion laws, while also pounding Republicans for the supposed plan to create a national abortion registry under Project 2025 — part of efforts by conservatives to respond to women seeking abortion care across state lines, even when living in states where bans are in place.
