JD Vance's abortion stance attacked by Biden campaign
CBSN
Hours after former President Donald Trump announced he'd chosen Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate, the Biden campaign was trying to draw attention to the senator's stance on abortion, calling him "an extreme anti-abortion politician" on a press call.
"He's proudly anti-choice and wants to take women back decades. He supports a nationwide ban on abortion, criticizes exceptions for rape and incest survivors, saying 'two wrongs don't make a right' and calling those circumstances 'inconvenient,'" President Biden's campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon said.
O'Malley Dillon seemed to be referring to a radio interview Vance gave to Spectrum News 1 in Columbus, Ohio, in 2021.
Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear banned the use of "conversion therapy" on minors in Kentucky on Wednesday, calling his executive order an overdue step to protect children from a widely discredited practice that tries to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling. Over 20 other states that have passed laws prohibiting the controversial treatment.
