US election: These women voters say abortion decided their votes

Angela is a graduate student in Iowa. A Democrat, she backed Biden in the last presidential election and plans to vote for Harris.

I really would love this to be a moment of celebration as we elect a woman of colour to our highest office, but unfortunately with how tight the election is against Trump and how disappointing [Harris’s] campaign has been on some of the issues that matter to me, it’s been hard to be as celebratory as I’d like.

Obviously abortion is a huge issue that needs to be addressed, but I’m not necessarily happy, I should say, with either candidate’s approaches in addressing the issue.

I understand Harris has a policy where she wants to codify Roe v Wade, but I think women’s rights and issues extend outside of just abortion access. Trump is very wishy-washy on the issue of women’s rights, so it’s hard to pin him down on any stance.
