Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris will return to the Atlanta area on Friday to campaign on abortion care access.
The visit is connected to a recent ProPublica report by Kavitha Surana that found that at least two Georgia women died after not receiving legal abortion and medical care in a timely manner.

Surana joined “Closer Look” host Rose Scott on Tuesday to discuss her article and why experts say Thurman’s death was preventable. Surana also spoke about the long-term implications of the 2022 Supreme Court Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion protections, which Harris will also speak about on Friday.
