Editor's note: This story has been updated.

Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said on Thursday that Sen. JD Vance, who is former President Donald Trump’s running mate, has “no sympathy for how women experience life in America.”

Abrams made the remarks on MSNBC’s Alex Wagner’s show. Abrams' remarks came in response to Vance stating that she went after a pro-life bill in Georgia a few years ago because it would be “bad for business.” 

“That was the argument of our new, corporate, neo-liberal class,” Vance said in his remarks. 

“What I said and what I mean is that women should have the right to control their bodies, because it determines how they secure an education, how they make a living, how they decide to grow families, and that companies are going to make terrible choices if they support restricting those rights,” Abrams claimed. 

She added that “the right to abortion” as a form of healthcare is a “basic human right.” 

“JD Vance has shown again and again he has almost no sympathy for how women experience life in America, and he has demonstrated again and again that he reduces women to the least and most puerile notion of our humanity, and I would encourage everyone to discard and disregard what he says,” Abrams said on the show. 

Late last month, Townhall covered how former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki attacked Vance  over remarks he made in 2021 that “childless cat ladies” are running the country.

Psaki called Vance’s comments “insulting” and that it’s no one’s business as to why a woman would decide not to have children. Then, Psaki said the term “cat lady” is a “slur against women.”

Update:

On Saturday, the Trump campaign provided the following statement to Townhall:

"Stacey Abrams doesn’t know the first thing about JD Vance. He was raised by strong, independent women like his mother who he has helped every step of the way in her battle to overcome addiction. Much like her leftwing comrade Kamala Harris, Stacy Abrams has spent her entire career failing upwards and embarrassing herself along the way."
