What is your stance on abortion?

Abortion is a medical procedure resulting in the termination of a human pregnancy and death of a fetus. In Brazil, abortion is only legal if a woman is raped or her life is in danger due to the pregnancy. A woman who receives an abortion can be sentenced from 1 to 3 years in detention.

Kamala’s Warning: ‘Unhinged’ Trump Seeks Dictatorial Power in 2024

Kamala Harris has attacked Donald Trump for seeking “unchecked power” if he wins the White House again, placing what she described as his threat to American democracy at the heart of her closing argument to voters less than two weeks before the presidential election.In a rare statement from the vice-president’s residence in Washington on Wednesday, Harris attacked Trump for being “increasingly unhinged and unstable” and said there would be no “guardrails” to restrain him during a second term in office.Harris’s comments were a reaction to comments in The New York Times from John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, who said the ex-president was an “authoritarian” who admired Adolf Hitler and fell into the “general definition of fascist”.“The bottom line is this: We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question in 13 days will be, what do the American people want?” Harris said in her brief remarks.The Democratic candidate was speaking before heading to Pennsylvania for a televised town hall on CNN, while Trump was campaigning in GeorgiaThe Trump campaign rubbished Harris’s comments as “desperate” and “easily disproven”.Polls put the two candidates in one of the tightest White House races in recent memory, leaving both vying for a closing message that wins crucial undecided voters.While President Joe Biden frequently referred to Trump as a threat to democracy before ending his re-election bid in July, Harris’s pitch had focused instead on defending personal freedoms, such as abortion, and economic benefits for the middle class, often dismissing Trump as unserious and bizarre.

Republican Heartland Embraces Abortion Rights Amid National Fight

Voters in seven states approved ballot amendments establishing a right to abortion in their state constitutions, continuing a broad repudiation of the abortion bans enacted since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.Missouri, which was the first state to officially enact an abortion ban after Roe was overturned in 2022, became the first state where voters ended a ban at the ballot box, with 52 percent approving the measure. A similar amendment passed by 57 percent in Montana, another Republican-controlled state. In two battleground states, Nevada and Arizona, measures to enshrine a right to abortion passed, with more than 60 percent of the vote for each.But the abortion rights movement also hit its limits, stalling in what had been a winning streak on ballot measures post-Roe, as voters in three Republican-controlled states, Florida, South Dakota and Nebraska, rejected amendments that would have established a constitutional right to abortion.Even as they hailed their victories, abortion rights supporters warned that the second Trump administration could use federal power to essentially invalidate the new state-level protections.President-elect Donald J. Trump boasted on the campaign trail of having overturned Roe — he appointed the three justices who helped swing the court majority. And anti-abortion activists have laid plans for a second Trump administration to use existing federal statutes to ban abortion pills, and to use the 14th Amendment to establish fetal personhood, which would effectively criminalize abortion at any stage of pregnancy. A Republican-controlled Congress could look to pass a federal abortion ban.Opponents of abortion rights looked at the results and saw victory. “Supported by the abortion industry and its allies, Harris and Walz campaigned with fanatical fervor on abortion — and the voters rejected them,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life.And Democrats who hoped that support for ballot measures would also lift their candidates to victory were largely disappointed.The groups backing the winning measures, however, said the victories even in states that went solidly for Mr. Trump were a clear signal that most Americans, regardless of party, age or gender, do not want the government restricting abortion.Republican Heartland Embraces Abortion Rights Amid National Fight

Trump's Deportation Storm: America Braces for Mass Exodus of Immigrants

For months, immigration advocates have been planning for the possibility of Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Now, their worst fears have arrived.Immigrants’ rights groups have spent the last year preparing for a second Trump term and an overhaul of the nation’s immigration system, analyzing Trump’s proposals, drafting legal briefs, coordinating messaging and organizing aid for immigrants and asylum seekers. They responded to Trump’s victory with alarm and vowed to put up a fight, setting the stage for four more years of contentious court battles with his administration.Some are already preparing to push current leadership at the Department of Homeland Security to take steps to stymie the incoming Trump team, particularly on immigrant detention and the use of AI in enforcement.“We should expect to see the devastation of immigrant communities all over the country. We should expect to see family separation,” said Kica Matos, the president of the National Immigration Law Center. “It is entirely possible that he will try to use the military to carry out deportations, so that means that Americans all over the country will see the military engaging in enforcement against civilian populations, which is horrifying.”Trump, after winning a historic victory on a platform of turbo-charged immigration enforcement, has said he will conduct mass deportations at a scale never before seen. Immigrant advocates have warned this would be expensive and inhumane, separating families and wrecking communities. The president-elect has also vowed to build huge detention camps, hire thousands more border agents, funnel military spending toward border security and invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to expel suspected members of drug cartels and criminal gangs without court hearings.He has also said he would end “catch-and-release” — allowing migrants to remain free, often with monitoring, while they await immigration court hearings — and restore a policy from his first term requiring asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their cases are processed. And he has dodged questions about whether he would try to bring back family separation.

Democrats Under Fire: Congressman Warns Party Is Losing the American Dream to the “Woke Left”

Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi wrote today:"In this election, Americans have made their voice clear: Democrats need to focus more on issues Americans care about, like wages and benefits, and less on being politically correct. Moderate White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, union, non-union, and other voters fear that the world we live in and the values we live by are under threat, and Democrats have been too intimidated to speak up for the same values that many of us hold dear — the American Dream, public safety and a common sense of right and wrong among them. Many Americans are simply afraid of "the Left" more than they are afraid of what President Trump will do. While some Democrats effectively responded to Republican's claims of chaos at the Southern border, we still ceded too much ground to the Republicans on an issue we could have won. And we failed as a party to respond to the Republican weaponization of anarchy on college campuses, defund the police, biological boys playing in girls' sports, and a general attack on traditional values. Going forward, we need to make the case every day that we will fight to give everyone a fair shake and that America is for everybody. We cannot get wrapped around the axle by our base and resistance politics."
