Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance stated that Donald Trump would not support a national abortion ban if elected president and would veto such legislation if it reached his desk. Vance emphasized Trump's belief in allowing individual states to make decisions regarding abortion based on their unique political sensibilities to avoid federal conflict on the issue.
Vance's comments followed Democratic criticism of Trump's role in appointing Supreme Court Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion in the U.S. and leading to bans in Republican-led states.
