Sen. Elizabeth Warren criticized Sen. JD Vance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” for suggesting that former President Donald Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if elected. Warren argued that Trump and Vance cannot be trusted with the future of women’s reproductive rights, as both have a history of restricting access to abortion. Vance claimed Trump prefers to leave the abortion issue to the states, but Warren pointed to the possibility of restrictions on a national level, citing the Comstock Act as an example.
Warren emphasized the importance of supporting candidates who will pass legislation to restore abortion rights nationwide. She highlighted the need for a Democratic Congress to send a bill to Vice President Kamala Harris, who would sign it into law. Warren believes this is the only way to ensure that women have access to necessary medical treatment without facing unnecessary restrictions.
Despite Trump’s recent statements advocating for state-level decisions on abortion, Warren and other critics remain skeptical of his true intentions regarding reproductive rights. Vance, as the GOP vice-presidential nominee, has expressed openness to a national abortion ban, further emphasizing the urgency of protecting and expanding access to abortion services for American women.
