Vice President Kamala Harris will visit each battleground state in the final week before Election Day, focusing on voters who hope to propel her to the White House.

The campaign has directed several messages to female voters in recent days, reminding them that what happens in the voting booth is a secret.

A Democratic ad released Monday conveys the message: “You can vote any way you want and no one will ever know.”

Saturday in Kalamazoo, Mich. former First Lady Michelle Obama reminded women that “we are more than just children who make dishes.”

“If you’re a woman living in a household of men who don’t listen to you or value your opinion, just remember that your vote is a private matter,” Obama said in the battleground state.

One pollster CBS News met at the rally said he heard from a number of Republican women who will vote Democratic.

“There was a bit of an under campaign,” she said. “You can vote and nobody knows your vote. And it targeted women.”

Four first-time voters said the top issue for women their age is abortion and reproductive rights.

Harris said in an interview with CBS News on Saturday that he would restore Roe v. Wade if he wins the election.

“I support that Roe v. Wade be reinstated into law by Congress and restore women’s fundamental right to make decisions about their own bodies. It’s so basic,” Harris said.

Harris sidestepped a question about whether she supports restrictions on abortion after fetal viability, generally considered to be between 22 and 24 weeks of pregnancy.

“We wouldn’t be debating this if Donald Trump hadn’t handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention of overturning the protections of Roe v. Wade,” she said, noting that women have died because of the restrictions that were passed since cancellation.

“I’ve seen women experience miscarriage near a pregnancy they prayed for and be denied medical care because doctors are afraid they’ll go to jail and those women develop sepsis,” she said. “We have seen tremendous harm, pain, and suffering that has occurred because of what Donald Trump has done in intending, carrying out, and overturning Roe v. Wade. Yes, my first priority is to put those protections back in place and stop this pain and stop this injustice happening in our country.”

She also urged Americans not to take former President Donald Trump at his word when he denies supporting a national abortion ban.

“Says everything,” Harris said. “Come on, do we really take him at his word? He said women should be punished. He was all over it.”

With polls showing some of Harris’ early gains slowing and the presidential race essentially a hot one, Harris said he doesn’t put much stock in the polls.

“I think certainly the polls are a measure, but to be honest, if I had listened to the polls I would never have run for first or second office,” she said. “I wouldn’t be here to talk to you.”

She pointed to record early voting turnout in North Carolina and Georgia as a sign of enthusiasm.

Asked if, given how late she became the Democratic nominee, she felt she had enough time to make her case to the American people, Harris said, “I’m going to make the most of the time I have.”
