In response to JD Vance trying to cover for his record of backing a national abortion ban, <\/em>DNC Spokesperson Aida Ross<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>released the following statement:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn another pathetic attempt to cover for his and Donald Trump\u2019s deeply unpopular Project 2025 agenda to ban abortion nationwide, JD Vance is once again lying about his toxic anti-choice record. Vance\u2019s words speak for themselves: he wants it to be \u2018illegal nationally<\/a>\u2019 and even attacked exceptions for rape and incest, calling them \u2018inconvenient<\/a>\u2019 circumstances. The American people see right through Vance\u2019s lies, and will stop the Trump-Vance ticket\u2019s assault on our basic freedoms at the ballot box.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHOT: JD Vance lied about his record of backing a national abortion ban.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josh Sanders, CBS News Philadelphia<\/a>: \u201cYou\u2019re on record of wanting a national abortion ban.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance: \u201cNo, no.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders: \u201cYou\u2019ve been on record.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders: \u201cWhat do you tell women that would say that America is now a more dangerous place for them after the overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, what would be your message to those women?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance: \u201cWell first of all you just took a Democratic talking point and put words in my mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHASER: Vance said he wants abortion to be \u201cillegal nationally\u201d and attacked exceptions for rape and incest, dismissing them as \u201cinconvenient\u201d circumstances.<\/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

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

Vance, Donald 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
