J.D. Vance said Donald Trump would not support a national abortion ban if elected president and would veto such legislation if it landed on his desk, the AP reports.
Said Vance: “I can absolutely commit that.”
He added: “Donald Trump’s view is that we want the individual states and their individual cultures and their unique political sensibilities to make these decisions because we don’t want to have a nonstop federal conflict over this issue.”
