President Biden's campaign criticized former President Trump and his vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance, labeling them as 'Anti-choice' during a press call held amidst the Republican National Convention. The Democratic National Committee joined in to denounce the newly-selected Trump running mate, JD Vance.
The Biden campaign's principal deputy campaign manager, Quentin Fulks, expressed strong opposition to Vance's stance on reproductive rights, stating that Vance's views would regress the progress made in women's rights. Fulks highlighted Vance's support for a nationwide ban on abortion and his criticism of exceptions for cases of rape and incest, quoting Vance as saying 'two wrongs don't make a right.'
Fulks further pointed out Vance's controversial remarks, noting that he referred to rape and incest as 'inconvenient' and advocated for women to remain in abusive marriages. These statements have sparked criticism and concern among supporters of women's rights and reproductive freedom.
Former President Trump announced Vance as his vice presidential pick via a post on Truth Social during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The selection of Vance as the running mate has intensified the debate on reproductive rights and women's issues within the political landscape.
