(PHILADELPHIA) — Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump presented different visions for the future of abortion rights during their presidential debate Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Harris promised to sign a bill that reinstates protections for abortion rights that existed under Roe v. Wade if it reaches her desk as president while Trump would not commit to vetoing a national abortion ban if it comes to his desk.<\/p>\n

During the debate, Trump — who claimed he wouldn’t have to veto a national ban — said he believes in exceptions for abortions in cases of rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother.<\/p>\n

“There’s no reason to sign a ban because we have gotten what everyone wanted,” Trump said, referring to leaving the regulation of abortion up to state governments.<\/p>\n

At least 22 states have abortion bans or restrictions in effect since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe — ending federal protections for abortion rights. Of those states, 14 have ceased nearly all abortion services and four have six-week bans in effect, prohibiting abortion care before most women know they are pregnant.<\/p>\n

Three of the five U.S. Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe were appointed by Trump when he was president.<\/p>\n

Ten states will have reproductive rights-related questions on the ballot this November, nine of which specifically address abortion.<\/p>\n

Voters in all six states that have had abortion questions on the ballot since Roe was overturned have voted to uphold abortion rights.<\/p>\n

During the debate, Trump also falsely claimed that some states allow for the killing of an infant after birth. Killing a baby after birth is illegal in all 50 states.<\/p>\n

Most states that allow abortions do so until fetal viability. But, there are no gestational limits on abortion in 9 states — including Colorado, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont and Gov. Tim Walz\u2019s state of Minnesota — and Washington, DC.<\/p>\n

Advocates for abortion rights say the absence of legal consequences after fetal liability doesn\u2019t mean doctors will try to terminate full-term, healthy pregnancies. In fact, access to third-trimester procedures is limited, costly and medically complex — typically done only when a woman\u2019s life is threatened or the fetus isn\u2019t expected to survive.<\/p>\n

Many Democrats say they want to pass legislation that would codify the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe vs Wade, which protects abortion rights up until viability.<\/p>\n
