November Surprises
J.D. Vance said two-and-a-half years ago he was open to a national abortion ban, a stark contrast to comments he made this week where the Ohio senator said he adhered to Donald Trump’s view that abortion should be a state issue, CNN reports.
Vance argued in 2022 that people seeking abortions would travel from states where abortion is banned to states with liberal abortion laws, necessitating federal action.
Said Vance: “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.”
