Kamala Harris said: 'If the court overturns Roe v Wade, it will be a direct assault on freedom, on the fundamental right of self-determination to which all Americans are entitled.' Getty Images / AFP
'Those Republican leaders who are trying to weaponise the use of the law against women, well, we say, how dare they?' Ms Harris said. Getty Images / AFP
