Summary

Donald Trump's rhetoric on abortion care and reproductive rights has been all over the map this year, but his record β€” and that of the Republican party β€” is clear: he has bragged about ending the nationwide right to abortion access.

The Kamala Harris campaign is intent on driving that message home for voters, including in a new ad highlighting the story of Hadley Duvall, who, as a child, was raped by her step-father.

This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and national political correspondent Sarah McCammon.

The podcast is produced by Jeongyoon Han, Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
