Vice President Kamala Harris slammed former President Donald Trump during an Atlanta rally on Saturday, focusing on his response to a Georgia family's tragic loss due to abortion complications.

Harris centered her remarks on the case of Amber Thurman, a Georgia mother who died after complications from taking an abortion pill. Thurman's tragic death occurred shortly after Georgia implemented its restrictive abortion law following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.

"Donald Trump still refuses to take accountability, to take any accountability, for the pain and the suffering he has caused," Harris stated. She referenced Trump's recent comment on a Fox News Channel town hall about the Thurman family joining a media call: "We'll get better ratings, I promise."

Harris condemned Trump's remark, asking, "A grieving family, a grieving family, sharing the memory of their daughter with our nation. Where is the compassion?" She added, "What we see continually from Donald Trump is exactly what that clip shows. He belittles their sorrow, making it about himself and his television ratings. It is cruel."

Some, like Amber Nicole Thurman, have even died.

I promised Amber’s mother that we will always remember her story and speak her name.
