As JD Vance continues to <\/em>double down<\/em><\/a> on his dangerous attacks on women and families, <\/em>DNC Spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJD Vance thinks Americans without children should have less of a voice in our democracy, wants to ban abortion nationwide while allowing law enforcement agencies to have access to women\u2019s medical records, believes women should stay in violent marriages, and the list goes on. Just like Donald Trump, Vance wants to strip women and families of their rights while spewing hateful, creepy, and downright weird comments that he continues to double down on in the face of widespread backlash. The Trump-Vance ticket is as off-putting as it is dangerous, and the American people won\u2019t stand for any of it this November.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JD Vance wants law enforcement to have access to women\u2019s medical records.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Letter Signed by Vance and Other Members of Congress<\/a>: \u201cAbortion is not health care\u2014it is a brutal act that destroys the life of an unborn child and hurts women. Congress did not authorize HHS to extend special provisions for abortion such as these under the guise of \u2018health care.\u2019 The Proposed Rule unlawfully thwarts the enforcement of compassionate laws protecting unborn children and their mothers, and directs health care providers to defy lawful court orders and search warrants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance suggested women should stay in violent marriages.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance<\/a>: \u201cThis is one of the great tricks that I think the sexual revolution pulled on the American populace, which is the idea that like, \u2018well, OK, these marriages were fundamentally, you know, they were maybe even violent, but certainly they were unhappy. And so getting rid of them and making it easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear, that\u2019s going to make people happier in the long term.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vice<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance Suggests People in \u2018Violent\u2019 Marriages Shouldn\u2019t Get Divorced\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance has repeatedly attacked and disparaged Americans who don\u2019t have children, and wants to undermine their role in our democracy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pat Rynard, Courier Newsroom<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance says Americans without children should \u2018face the consequences<\/strong> and the reality\u2019 and not get \u2018nearly the same voice\u2019 in democracy\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federalist<\/a>: \u201cJ.D. Vance, a U.S. Senate candidate from Ohio, called out the \u2018childless left\u2019 whom he said have \u2018no physical commitment to the future of this country\u2019 in a fiery speech given to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute\u2019s conference on the Future of American Political Economy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Why is this just a normal fact of \u2026  life, for the leaders of our country to be people who don\u2019t have a personal and direct stake in it via their own offspring?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018The Democrats are talking about giving the vote to 16-year-olds,\u2019 Vance noted. \u2018Let\u2019s do this instead. Let\u2019s give votes to all children in this country, but let\u2019s give control over those votes to the parents of the children<\/strong>.\u2019 He continued, asking, \u2018Doesn\u2019t this mean that nonparents don\u2019t have as much of a voice as parents? Doesn\u2019t this mean that parents get a bigger say in how democracy functions?\u2019 He answered with a simple \u2018yes\u2019 after saying \u2018the Atlantic and the Washington Post and all the usual suspects\u2019 would criticize him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABC News<\/a>: \u201c[Vance] suggested that the country needed to \u2018reward the things that we think are good\u2019 and \u2018punish the things that we think are bad<\/strong>\u2019 — before suggesting that individuals without children should be taxed at a higher rate than those with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance somehow also thinks that policies that support families and child care are a \u201cwar against normal people.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance<\/a>: \u201c\u2018Universal day care\u2019 is class war against normal people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance<\/a>: \u201cIt turns out that normal Americans care more about their families than their jobs, and want a family policy that doesn\u2019t shunt their kids into crap daycare so they can enjoy more \u2018freedom\u2019 in the paid labor force.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
