Washington, DC – Donald Trump today announced Senator JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate for vice president.
See below for a statement from Fatima Goss Graves, president of the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) Action Fund.
“Donald Trump was always going to pick an anti-abortion, anti-gender justice extremist as his running mate – at least now we know which one.
“JD Vance has endorsed a national abortion ban, cosponsored legislation that would send doctors who provide abortions to jail, and outright dismissed the value of affordable universal child care. The selection of Vance as vice president reinforces that reproductive freedom, affordable child care, and our very democracy are on the line.
“Women and girls deserve to live in a country where they are free to make their own choices and live without fear. That is why we must work to ensure that Donald Trump and JD Vance are not given the power to inflict a national abortion ban and force their radical MAGA agenda on the rest of us.”
