The state was pushed to the front of the US abortion battle this week after the state's Supreme Court upheld a 1864 law banning almost all abortions.

"Donald Trump did this," Ms Harris said.

Her remarks added to recent attacks from the Biden campaign tying Mr Trump to abortion bans nationwide.

Mr Trump campaigned in 2016 on appointing justices who would overturn Roe v Wade. He put three conservatives on the court, all of whom voted to overturn Roe in June 2022 and rescinded the nationwide right to abortion.
