Trump's Running Mate Sen. JD Vance Reaffirms Former President's Abortion Stance, Spreads Falsehoods About Late-Term Abortions

  • 11 hours ago
Republican vice presidential nominee Senator JD Vance confirmed that Donald Trump’s stance on defunding Planned Parenthood remains consistent. Vance emphasized that taxpayers should not fund late-term abortions, a view held by Trump’s previous campaign. In 2021, over 93% of abortions occurred at or before thirteen weeks' gestation,  and less than one percent occurred at or beyond twenty-one weeks, according to the CDC. The statement follows recent comments from Democrats criticizing Trump’s position on reproductive rights. Trump has since softened his stance on abortion, stating he would veto a federal ban while also praising his administration’s role in overturning Roe v. Wade.
