In response to JD Vance saying he would seek to <\/em>defund<\/em><\/a> Planned Parenthood, <\/em>DNC Spokesperson Aida Ross<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>released the following statement:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWomen are dying preventable deaths because Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wade<\/em>, and JD Vance made clear he and Trump would further rip away access to reproductive health care by defunding Planned Parenthood. Vance is once again proving he doesn\u2019t care about protecting lives \u2014 just Trump\u2019s extreme anti-choice Project 2025 agenda to ban abortion nationwide. Voters see through this cynical attack on reproductive health care services from contraception to cancer screenings. This November, women across the country will make it loud and clear that they want nothing to do with the Trump-Vance ticket\u2019s dangerous, out-of-touch, and downright horrifying assault on our basic freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udea8 BREAKING: JD Vance made clear a Trump-Vance administration would defund reproductive health care services if given the chance, which is wildly <\/strong>unpopular<\/strong><\/a> with the American people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance<\/a>: \u201cOn the question of defunding Planned Parenthood\u2026our view is we don’t think that taxpayers should fund late term abortions. That has been a consistent view of the Trump campaign the first time around, it will remain a consistent view.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance\u2019s anti-choice record includes wanting abortion to be \u201cillegal nationally,\u201d attacking exceptions for rape and incest, bailing on reproductive freedoms, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance said in 2022 he \u2018would like abortion to be illegal nationally\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring a podcast interview in January 2022, then-candidate JD Vance said he \u2018certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally\u2019 and was \u2018sympathetic\u2019 to the view that a national ban was necessary to stop women from traveling across states to obtain an abortion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance<\/a>: \u201cI am 100 percent pro-life<\/strong>, and believe that abortion has turned our society into a place where we see children as an inconvenience to be thrown away rather than a blessing to be nurtured. Eliminating abortion is first and foremost about protecting the unborn, but it\u2019s also about making our society more pro-child and pro-family.<\/strong> The historic <\/strong>Dobbs<\/em><\/strong> decision puts this new era of society into motion<\/strong>, one that prioritizes family and the sanctity of all life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsweek<\/a>: \u201cJ.D. Vance Backs \u2018National Standard\u2019 for Abortions\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Beast<\/a>: \u201cJ.D. Vance suggested he would support prohibiting abortion even in cases of rape and incest\u2014and dismissed those catalysts as \u2018inconvenient.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vice<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance Compared Abortion to Slavery\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio Capital Journal<\/a>: \u201cU.S. Senate GOP prevents contraception access bill from moving ahead\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOhio Republican U.S. Sen. JD Vance didn\u2019t vote.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independent<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance didn\u2019t even show up to vote on [IVF protections].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jennifer Bendery, Huffington Post<\/a>: \u201cVance won\u2019t be at today\u2019s Senate vote\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cSenate Republicans block legislation to codify IVF access\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans who voted against include: JD Vance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanity Fair<\/a>: \u201cOn Wednesday, Senate Republicans are expected to object to Tammy Duckworth\u2019s Right to Build Families Act, because, surprise: They don\u2019t actually care about families and aren\u2019t \u2018pro-life.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018It\u2019s idiotic for us to take the bait,\u2019<\/strong> Senator JD Vance told Politico, as though the measure were some kind of political trap. (He also noted that he had not actually read the bill yet.)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cSenate Republicans block Democratic bill codifying Roe v. Wade abortion protections\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans who voted against include: JD Vance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRUMP DID THIS: Reporting shows that abortion bans across the country \u2014 which Donald Trump \u201cproudly\u201d made possible and said are \u201cworking very brilliantly\u201d \u2014 delaying emergency medical care and leading to \u201cpreventable\u201d deaths.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cA dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ProPublica<\/a>: \u201cAbortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care. In Georgia, Experts Say This Mother\u2019s Death Was Preventable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut ProPublica obtained reports that confirm that at least two women have already died after they couldn\u2019t access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThurman\u2019s case marks the first time an abortion-related death, officially deemed \u2018preventable,\u2019 is coming to public light. ProPublica will share the story of the second in the coming days\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut since abortion was banned or restricted in 22 states over the past two years, women in serious danger have been turned away from emergency rooms and told that they needed to be in more peril before doctors could help. <\/strong>Some have been forced to continue high-risk pregnancies that threatened their lives. Those whose pregnancies weren\u2019t even viable have been told they could return when they were \u2018crashing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cWe broke <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong> and we did something that nobody thought was possible. We gave it back to the states, and the states are working very brilliantly \u2026 But they\u2019re working, and it\u2019s working the way it\u2019s supposed to.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cI was proudly the person responsible for the ending of <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance, Trump, and their Project 2025 allies are pushing a dangerous Project 2025 agenda that would ban abortion nationwide, threaten access to IVF and contraception, and rip away reproductive freedoms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide: Report\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cThere of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life. And it\u2019s very important.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cThere has to be some form of punishment [for women who have an abortion].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara Barr, WGAL<\/a>: \u201cThere are ads running that say that you would support certain states with bans monitoring a woman\u2019s pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump: \u201cWell that would be up to the states, again. They will make a decision as to how they do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201c<\/strong>Vance urged DOJ to enforce Comstock Act, crack down on abortion pills\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Republic<\/a>: \u201cOn January 20, 2025, conservatives plan to resurrect a 150-year-old defunct law to ban abortion across the nation.<\/strong> This is not a secret plan\u2014far from it. It\u2019s part of the 180-Day Playbook produced by Project 2025, detailing priorities for an incoming conservative president on day one.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cAnti-abortion advocates worked for five decades to topple Roe v. Wade. They\u2019re now laying the groundwork for a yearslong fight to curb in vitro fertilization.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince the Alabama Supreme Court ruled last month that frozen embryos are children, the Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups have been strategizing how to convince not just GOP officials but evangelicals broadly that they should have serious moral concerns about fertility treatments like IVF and that access to them should be curtailed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media Matters<\/a>: \u201cThe Heritage Foundation quietly released draconian new IVF policy recommendations for the next GOP president\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHeritage has been a staunchly anti-IVF voice, supporting Alabama\u2019s controversial Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos cultivated through IVF treatment have the same rights as living children, and that a person can be held liable for destroying embryos.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 19th<\/a>: \u201cRNC approves platform that would give rights to fetuses, endangering abortion, IVF\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFetal personhood is widely seen as being in conflict with in vitro fertilization (IVF), which creates embryos outside of the uterus that are later implanted. Fetal personhood bestows the same rights currently reserved for people to embryos from the moment of fertilization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reproductive Freedom for All<\/a>: \u201cThe extensive mandate calls to gut reproductive freedom, including effectively banning medication abortion, ending access to emergency abortion care, attacking contraception, deploying fetal personhood, and undermining IVF in federal policy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProject 2025 includes personhood language and policies that propagate the belief that life begins at conception\u2014which could have devastating impacts should it be put into law. This so-called \u201cpersonhood\u201d language could ban not only abortion but also some forms of birth control and assisted fertility treatments like IVF.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nation<\/a>: \u201cProject 2025 Has Bad Medicine for HHS\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd by declaring that life begins at conception, his manifesto appears to commit HHS to finding ways to outlaw IVF<\/strong>, which relies on generating multiple embryos, most of which are not implanted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cInside the MAGA Plan to Attack Birth Control, Surveil Women and Ban the Abortion Pill\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve reviewed a lot of [Project 2025]. There are some good ideas in there.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
