Another Trump abortion ban is set to take effect today. The State of Iowa joins the growing ranks of Republican-led states banning abortion at six weeks, Iowans woke up Monday to a new reality of state-forced birth.

Kamala Harris will also wake up to a new reality. After President Biden withdrew and endorsed Harris as the 2024 Democratic nominee, Harris raised a historic $250 million in campaign donations in under three days, much of it from first time donors, and young voter registration surged by 700%.

Anyone missing the connection between Trump’s abortion bans and the drumbeat for Harris isn’t paying attention.

Although abortion was carefully scripted out of the headlines and speeches at the Republican National Convention, Harris will remind Americans how Trump bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade, and appointed three radical justices who were willing to lie to Congress under oath— and trash the credibility of the Supreme Court in the process— to overturn abortion rights.

Harris will remind voters how Trump publicly congratulated himself, bragging in writing that:

After 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade, much to the ‘shock’ of everyone… Without me, there would be no 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 weeks, or whatever is finally agreed to. Without me the pro Life movement would have just kept losing. Thank you........
