JD Vance Calls Rape And Incest 'Inconvenient'

Vance's comments aren't new and were mentioned in a story by the Washington Post in 2021. The audio was recently unearthed again though, with people naturally wondering why someone like this should ever become Vice President of the United States. Vance would say, without a trace of irony, “The question to me is really about the baby,” Vance added. “We want women to have opportunities, we want women to have choices, but, above all, we want women and young boys in the womb to have a right to life.”

Women should have choices, just not that choice.

Wade — but after the justices had effectively allowed a total ban on abortion to go into effect in the state of Texas, which Vance was asked about.
