Harris campaign brings reproductive rights bus tour to Savannah, highlighting local women's stories
LISTEN: The tour included personal stories from local women, who warned about what they view as a threat to abortion rights posed by a second Trump administration. GPB's Benjamin Payne reports.
Campaign surrogates for Vice President Kamala Harris stopped in Savannah on Thursday as part of a multi-state bus tour focusing on the issue of abortion rights.
State and local elected officials were joined by two Savannah women who shared their personal experiences with reproductive health care.
Savannah resident Callie Beale said that when she was pregnant with twins, Georgia's six-week abortion ban effectively forced her to seek a medically necessary procedure out-of-state, causing a delay that threatened her life and the life of a healthy fetus.
Beale said that when an ultrasound indicated that one of the twins she was carrying had a severe chromosomal anomaly “incompatible with life,” her doctor told her that she needed a procedure known as a selective reduction to abort the unhealthy fetus, but that it was illegal to perform in Georgia.
