Kamala Harris campaign ads seek to highlight increasingly perilous medical care for women since the fall of Roe v.

She was denied an abortion and eventually went into labor. "Immediately after her birth, I was in the worst pain of my life," she says, as she and her husband are pictured in her living room near a framed photo of the baby's ultrasound. She then developed sepsis, a life-threatening pregnancy complication.
