JD Vance reveals during VP debate that a ‘woman very dear to me’ had an abortion

Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance revealed that an unnamed man “very dear” to him had previously received an abortion during a discussion about it. Politically serious issue in VP debate,

Vance said, “I grew up in a working-class family in a neighborhood where I knew a lot of young women who had unplanned pregnancies and they decided to terminate those pregnancies because they felt that their There was no other option.”

“One of them is really very dear to me, and I know she’s watching tonight, and I love you.”

Vance did not specify who he was talking about, although he said she was in an “abusive relationship.” He also emphasized that his position is that states, rather than the federal government, should set abortion policy.

Vance said of the Republican Party, “We have to do a much better job of gaining back the confidence of the American people on this issue, where they clearly don’t trust us.”

Vance later criticized Walz’s abortion laws in Minnesota, which he said allowed doctors to cause babies born alive to die during botched abortions.

“As I read the Minnesota law that you signed,” Vance told Walz, “it says that the doctor who presides over an abortion where the baby survives, the doctor has the right to provide life-saving care to that baby. One who survives an abortion is not bound to have a late abortion.

“This is fundamentally barbaric,” he declared. “Do you want to force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions against their will? Because Kamala Harris has supported prosecuting Catholic nuns for violating their freedom of conscience.

Walz countered that this was “not true.”

The Governor said, “This decision has to be taken by women.” “”And the physicians who know best.”

Vance responded, “I asked a question and you gave me a slogan.”
