JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris said it would sign a bill to reimpose Roe v. Wade, when rival Donald Trump praised the cancellation of the rule.

Former President Donald Trump defended his decision to support a six-week abortion ban to be drawn in his home state of Florida, a change from his previous stance on the policy.

He said "radical democrats" in their abortion policies, although he said he believed abortion should be a matter for the state.

Trump also went on touts that he could cancel Roe v. Wade by appointing judges at the Supreme Court, saying he still believes in exceptions for the rape, inses and mother's life.

"This is the voice of the people now. It is not bound to the federal government. I have done a good service in doing so," Trump said of the cancellation of Roe v. Wade.

"It takes courage to do so. And the Supreme Court has great courage to do so," continued the Republican presidential candidate.

This November, voters in at least 10 states will go to polling stations to determine the future access to abortion in their state, following national efforts by organizers to secure a wave of voting aimed at restoring or protecting the right to abortion - and some of them aim to limit it.

Trump also attacked vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, for her attitude towards abortion, claiming that Walz supports "executing after birth."

Meanwhile, incumbent vice president Kamala Harris criticized what she called Trump's "ban on abortion".

"A person does not have to abandon the beliefs or beliefs held firmly to agree that the government and Donald Trump, of course, should not tell a woman what to do with her body," Harris said.

The Democratic presidential candidate said Trump's policy of abortion was no exception for rape or recess, which he called " immoral."

Harris also highlighted Trump's election of US Supreme Court Justices during his tenure as president, which he linked to the cancellation of Roe v. Wade.

"Let's understand how we got here," he said.

Harris said he would "proudly" sign a bill that returns Roe v. Wade's protection if elected president.

"I think the American people believe that certain freedoms - in particular the freedom to make decisions about the body themselves - should not be made by the government," the vice president said.

Donald Trump said he would not sign a national abortion ban, dismissed Kamala Harris's statement saying the former president would push for a national abortion ban.

"I will not sign the ban and there is no reason to sign the ban because we have got what everyone wants," he said, referring to the cancellation of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court.

It is known that the Supreme Court in 2022 canceled Roe v. Wade, who acknowledged abortion rights and legalized them nationally in a 6-3 conservative majority ruling, making the battle over abortion rights shift to state courts.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court's decision to cancel Roe v. Wade remains unpopular among the majority of Americans, according to a poll from Marquette Law School released last month, with two-thirds against the decision.

The debate of former Trump president with incumbent vice president Harris was held at the National Constitution Center, Philadelphia with David Muir and Linsey Davis, on Tuesday night local time and without spectators attending.
