Vance Thinks Caring About Abortion Rights Isn’t Normal

August 15, 2024 · 12:50 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Sen. J.D. Vance, who has been dragged for his controversial comments about women ever since Donald Trump selected him as his running mate, added to the list by suggesting that it isn’t “normal” for women to care about abortion rights, the Daily Beast reports.

Asked Laura Ingraham on Fox News: “One of my dear friends said to me tonight that all these suburban women—all they care about is abortion, and they don’t understand the decision is with the states now. It’s not banned nationally, even if some people want it to be banned nationally. What do you say to suburban women out there who are marinating in this propaganda?”

Replied Vance: “Well, first of all, I don’t buy that, Laura. I think most suburban women care about the normal things that most Americans care about, right? They care about inflation, they care about the price of groceries, they care about public safety in the streets where their kids play.”
