Pro-life advocates rip Kamala Harris' prediction that 'women will die' if Roe v. Wade is overturned

Vice President Kamala Harris warned that "women will die" if the Supreme Court overturns the precedent on abortion it previously set in the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, but pro-life advocates countered that the solution to maternal mortality cannot be the killing of unborn babies. 

"I don’t mean to sound alarmist. I mean this: Women will die," Harris told The San Francisco Chronicle in an interview published Sunday. 

She made the prediction while discussing the pivotal case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, in which the court is weighing whether all pre-viability restrictions on elective abortion are unconstitutional. 

"Women will die," Harris repeated. "In particular, women who don’t have economic resources and can’t then travel to places or somehow have access to safe reproductive health care, including abortion. And it is not an extreme statement — it is a fact."
