Today, Donald Trump announced Republican Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate and choice for vice president, further confirming what we already know – that Trump will stop at nothing to further his harmful, anti-democratic agenda that hurts our families and communities.

Here’s what you need to know about J.D. Vance:

J.D. Vance Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide

As president, Donald Trump was responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade, which eliminated Americans’ constitutional right to abortion, established over 50 years ago, and opened the door for conservatives in states across the country to ban and criminalize access to abortion care. 

Since then, fourteen states have enacted near-total or total abortion bans, including Minnesota’s neighbors in Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota. 

Trump has repeatedly bragged about his role in overturning Roe v. Wade and promised to take further action to restrict abortion rights if given the opportunity. 

In 2022, on the “What’s Left Podcast,” J.D. Vance said that he “certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.” In 2022, Vance also indicated that he would support a federal fetal personhood law.
