JD Vance Doubles Down on Trump's Abortion Stance

Abortion is one of the top issues voters are closely monitoring heading into the November election. With former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris holding different stances on the issue, abortion may be the line that sets the next POTUS apart. 

On Saturday, Trump’s 2024 running mate, JD Vance (R-OH), doubled down on the former president’s claim that he would not impose a federal abortion ban if elected. He said that Trump would “absolutely commit” to allowing states to decide on the issue themselves. Instead, Vance said his administration would devote that time and energy to more significant problems like the economy and immigration. 

“Donald Trump wants to end this culture war over this particular topic. … Donald Trump’s view is that we want the individual states and their individual cultures and unique political sensibilities to make these decisions because we don’t want to have a nonstop federal conflict over this issue,” Vance said. 

The 45th president echoed similar remarks, vowing that a second Trump presidency would be “great for women and their reproductive rights.” 

However, critics argue that another Trump term would cause devastating news for women. 

Despite Trump insisting he would not impose a federal abortion ban several times, Harris still took to social media to claim that he would take women’s reproductive rights away the moment he took office. 

“Trump hand-picked three members of the Supreme Court because he intended for them to overturn Roe v. Wade — as he intended, they did. If he is re-elected, we know he will sign a national abortion ban,” she wrote on X. 

Former Vice President to Trump, Mike Pence, also aimed at his former boss, accusing him of using the “language of the Left.”

“The Trump-Pence administration stood for life without apology for four years,” Pence told the National Review. “The former President’s use of the language of the Left, pledging that his administration would be ‘great for women and their reproductive rights’ should be concerning for millions of pro-life Americans.”

Pence accused the Republican Party of walking back its previous tough-on-abortion stance, saying his party is “trying to remain vague for political expedience.” 

“But history shows that those who stand without apology for life and make their case to the American people are rewarded at the ballot box,” Pence continued. “But beyond the politics of the issue is the immorality of ending an unborn human life. We must never lose the moral clarity to say that abortion is wrong. The GOP platform may be retreating, but we in the pro-life movement never will.”
