Liz Warren Takes A Sledgehammer To Vance's Claim On Abortion Ban

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) isn't buying J.D. Vance’s claim that his felonious running mate would veto a nationwide abortion ban. In 1999, Trump declared that he was "very pro-choice," but that before he learned that changing his rhetoric toward women's reproductive rights would garner the evangelical vote. And now Vance claims, after Trump overturned Roe, that he wouldn't be OK with a nationwide abortion ban.

On NBC’s Meet the Press, Warren shot Vance down, saying, “American women are not stupid."

"Look, right now, where we are is Donald Trump and J.D. Vance take the White House, they have current law, the Comstock Act, which, with the right person that they put into the Department of Justice and one of their extremist judges out in the world, they can actually ban all access to abortion all across this country," she told host Kristen Welker. "And understand, when I say ban access for abortion, I don't mean with exceptions for rape or incest or a 16-week ban; I mean ban it for every woman any time she needs it."

"Because once they take the medications off the market, once they take the surgical instruments off the market, they're not there," she continued. "So, for any woman who’s in the middle of a miscarriage who goes into an emergency room and discovers there's no medication and no treatment for her because abortion has been banned nationwide, they can thank Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.”
