A national abortion ban—or whatever they want to call it—is more than a remote possibility.
JD Vance outright lied about his calls for a national abortion ban during Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate, falsely declaring he “never supported a national ban.” That is categorically untrue and yet another reason why no one should believe him or Donald Trump when they make promises about reproductive rights, which they will absolutely shred given the opportunity.
But, first, a quick fact-check regarding Vance’s debate claim. In 2022, while running for Senate in Ohio, Vance said on a podcast, “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.” During that same campaign, he stated on his website for all the world to see that he was “100 percent pro-life” and that he was in favor of “eliminating abortion.” In fact, those words were on Vance’s website until July of this year, when Trump announced the senator as his running mate.

Well that too, but anyone enrolling in something called Trump University clearly lived under a rock, and wouldn’t know that, or they wouldn’t have even gotten that far.
Or they believed what they saw on TV. The Apprentice really fucked this country and a lot of idiots along the way.
