Vance�s comments calling pregnancies from rape and incest �inconvenient�
back in spotlight after VP nod

JD Vance�s past comments defending abortion restrictions for pregnancies
that result from rape or incest are once again in the spotlight as the
Ohio Senator embarks on Donald Trump�s presidential campaign.

Since being tapped as the Republican vice presidential nominee earlier
this month, Vance has found himself under a media microscope being called
out for changing his position on issues and people to suit Trump�s
campaign. Most recently, that attention has been on abortion laws � an
issue likely to influence the 2024 election.

In a 2021 interview with SpectrumNews1, Vance suggested he did not
believe anti-abortion laws should include exceptions for rape or incest
saying, �two wrongs don�t make a right.�

�It�s not whether a woman should be forced to bring a child to term,� the
then-Ohio Senate candidate said at the time. �It�s whether a child should
be allowed to live even though the circumstances of that child�s birth
are somehow inconvenient or a problem to society.�

At the time, the Supreme Court had not overturned Roe v. Wade that gave
federal abortion protections. Since then, that has been overturned and
states have been on a blitz to pass new laws restricting abortion.

But in an interview last year, Vance changed his position, saying there
must be �exceptions for the life of the mother and rape and so forth.�

Despite Vance softening his stance on abortion, Democrats have used it
against him, claiming his past comments are his true feelings toward the
issue.

Vance�s past comments on abortion have been thrown into the same boat as
other statements that have raised eyebrows, such as describing Vice
President Kamala Harris as a �miserable� �childless� �cat lady� and
Vance�s previous dislike of Trump.

At the Republican National Convention, Vance claimed Democrats
�completely twisted� his words from the 2021 interview.

�What I did say is that we sometimes in this society see babies as
inconveniences, and I absolutely want us to change that,� Vance said.

The Ohio Senator said it is �completely reasonable� each state chooses
its own abortion laws and insisted there must be �respect for the
political process� � a stance Trump has stated. In turn, Vance also said
during a 2022 debate and interview that he would be OK with �some minimum
national standard.�

Vance has also adopted Trump�s stance on the availability of
mifepristone, the abortion drug, saying he would not outlaw it.
