On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing the Democratic Party's plans for abortion rights if Kamala Harris becomes President.
Harris has made reproductive rights a central component of her campaign, and she's been commended for her stances on abortion in offices she's previously held.
Abortion is playing a critical role at the Democratic National Convention, but some advocates say her plan to restore Roe doesn't go far enough.

Alice Ollstein, Politico health care reporter
Renee Bracey Sherman, founder and executive director of We Testify, co-host of the podcast The A-Files: A Secret History of Abortion, executive producer of Ours to Tell, and co-author of the forthcoming book, "Liberating Abortion"
