   They say he's a big supporter of rape and incest as a way to purify the   
   white race.   
      
   Vance’s comments calling pregnancies from rape and incest ‘inconvenient’   
   back in spotlight after VP nod   
      
      
   JD Vance’s past comments defending abortion restrictions for pregnancies   
   that result from rape or incest are once again in the spotlight as the Ohio   
   Senator embarks on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.   
      
   Since being tapped as the Republican vice presidential nominee earlier this   
   month, Vance has found himself under a media microscope being called out   
   for changing his position on issues and people to suit Trump’s campaign.   
   Most recently, that attention has been on abortion laws – an issue likely   
   to influence the 2024 election.   
      
   In a 2021 interview with SpectrumNews1, Vance suggested he did not believe   
   anti-abortion laws should include exceptions for rape or incest saying,   
   “two wrongs don’t make a right.”   
      
   “It’s not whether a woman should be forced to bring a child to term,” the   
   then-Ohio Senate candidate said at the time. “It’s whether a child should   
   be allowed to live even though the circumstances of that child’s birth are   
   somehow inconvenient or a problem to society.”

   At the time, the Supreme Court had not overturned Roe v. Wade that gave   
   federal abortion protections. Since then, that has been overturned and   
   states have been on a blitz to pass new laws restricting abortion.

   But in an interview last year, Vance changed his position, saying there   
   must be “exceptions for the life of the mother and rape and so forth.”   
      
   Despite Vance softening his stance on abortion, Democrats have used it   
   against him, claiming his past comments are his true feelings toward the   
   issue.   
      
   Vance’s past comments on abortion have been thrown into the same boat as   
   other statements that have raised eyebrows, such as describing Vice   
   President Kamala Harris as a “miserable” “childless” “cat lady” and Vance’s   
   previous dislike of Trump.   
   Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, has softened his stance on   
   abortion recently despite promoting a national minimum standard and   
   rejecting exceptions for rape and incest

   At the Republican National Convention, Vance claimed Democrats “completely   
   twisted” his words from the 2021 interview.   
      
   “What I did say is that we sometimes in this society see babies as   
   inconveniences, and I absolutely want us to change that,” Vance said.   
      
   The Ohio Senator said it is “completely reasonable” each state chooses its   
   own abortion laws and insisted there must be “respect for the political   
   process” – a stance Trump has stated. In turn, Vance also said during a   
   2022 debate and interview that he would be OK with “some minimum national   
   standard.”   
      
   Vance has also adopted Trump’s stance on the availability of mifepristone,   
   the abortion drug, saying he would not outlaw it.
