Anti-Abortion Voters Turn to JD Vance for Reassurance

As Trump continues to be vague about abortion, his VP candidate has been clear that the anti-abortion movement has a “seat at the table” with the potential administration.

As the anti-abortion movement grows increasingly frustrated with Donald Trump, they are turning to his No. 2, Sen. JD Vance, for help.

Trump’s criticism of six-week abortion bans, his support for IVF (with a promise to make IVF coverage free), and his public stance that abortion is now a settled issue left to the states have made some anti-abortion advocates urge their followers not to vote for the GOP ticket.

But where Trump can waffle and be vague about policy, Vance can be specific — which has given some peace of mind to anti-abortion voters.
