Kamala Harris says GOP claims that Democrats support abortion up until birth are "mischaracterization"

Washington — Vice President Kamala Harris pushed back on Republican claims that Democrats support abortions up until birth, but repeatedly declined to say how far into a pregnancy abortion access should be denied. 

In an interview with "Face the Nation" on Thursday in Jakarta, Harris called on Congress to enshrine abortion rights into law after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which established the constitutional right to abortion. Since then, a number of states have rolled back abortion rights. 

"Congress has the ability to put back in place the rights that the Supreme Court took from the women of America," she said.
