Harris’ visit to deep-red Indiana, which was confirmed by three people familiar with the planning, comes as the state has become a flashpoint in the national debate over abortion rights. Leaders in the Indiana state Senate proposed a near-total ban on abortion on Wednesday, with exceptions only for the life of the mother and in cases of rape and incest.
Harris’ trip also comes shortly after it was revealed that a 10-year-old girl, who had become impregnated by a rapist, traveled to Indiana from Ohio for an abortion procedure. The girl was past the 6-week limit to get an abortion in her home state, and the proposed laws in Indiana have not yet been passed.
