In response to JD Vance skipping today\u2019s Senate effort to protect access to emergency abortion care, <\/em>DNC Spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter reports of tragic, preventable deaths as result of Donald Trump\u2019s extreme abortion bans, MAGA Republicans today blocked yet another vote to ensure that all Americans can access lifesaving care \u2013 and JD Vance didn\u2019t think it was worth his time to even show up. Whether it\u2019s codifying reproductive freedoms, enshrining access to IVF, or doing the bare minimum to protect women from dying preventable deaths, Vance has made it abundantly clear for all of America that he\u2019ll put his extreme anti-choice agenda over protecting our basic rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW: In the aftermath of tragic, preventable deaths due to Donald Trump\u2019s state abortion bans, Senate Republicans <\/strong>blocked<\/em><\/strong> today\u2019s vote to ensure access to emergency abortion care. JD Vance didn\u2019t even show up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

News from the States<\/a>: \u201cGOP senator blocks resolution stating the right to emergency care includes abortion\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSenate Democrats attempted to pass a resolution Tuesday addressing abortion access in emergency medical situations, but Republicans blocked it from moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe floor action followed months of unsuccessful attempts by congressional Democrats to approve legislation on various reproductive rights, including access to birth control and in vitro fertilization.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cScoop: Senate Dems\u2019 emergency abortion care blitz\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn investigation published by ProPublica last week highlighted the circumstances of Amber Nicole Thurman\u2019s 2022 death \u2014 the first publicly reported death caused by delayed abortion care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cA dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ProPublica<\/a>: \u201cAbortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care. In Georgia, Experts Say This Mother\u2019s Death Was Preventable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince abortion was banned or restricted in 22 states over the past two years, women in serious danger have been turned away from emergency rooms and told that they needed to be in more peril before doctors could help. <\/strong>Some have been forced to continue high-risk pregnancies that threatened their lives. Those whose pregnancies weren\u2019t even viable have been told they could return when they were \u2018crashing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance also skipped last week\u2019s vote on legislation to enshrine access to IVF for all Americans \u2014 after voting against IVF protections in June.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Independent<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance didn\u2019t even show up to vote on [IVF protections].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jennifer Bendery, Huffington Post<\/a>: \u201cVance won\u2019t be at today\u2019s Senate vote\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cSenate Republicans block legislation to codify IVF access\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans who voted against include: JD Vance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanity Fair<\/a>: \u201cOn Wednesday, Senate Republicans are expected to object to Tammy Duckworth\u2019s Right to Build Families Act, because, surprise: They don\u2019t actually care about families and aren\u2019t \u2018pro-life.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018It\u2019s idiotic for us to take the bait,\u2019<\/strong> Senator JD Vance told Politico, as though the measure were some kind of political trap. (He also noted that he had not actually read the bill yet.)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REMINDER: Vance\u2019s anti choice record includes saying that he would like \u201cabortion to be illegal nationally,\u201d attacking exceptions for rape and incest, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance said in 2022 he \u2018would like abortion to be illegal nationally\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[JD Vance] said [he] \u2018certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally\u2019 and was \u2018sympathetic\u2019 to the view that a national ban was necessary to stop women from traveling across states to obtain an abortion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsweek<\/a>: \u201cJ.D. Vance Backs \u2018National Standard\u2019 for Abortions\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cOhio Senate candidate J.D. Vance argues against need for rape and incest exceptions in abortion laws\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Beast<\/a>: \u201cJ.D. Vance suggested he would support prohibiting abortion even in cases of rape and incest\u2014and dismissed those catalysts as \u2018inconvenient.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If given the chance, Trump and Vance would ban abortion nationwide with their dangerous Project 2025 agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide: Report\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cThere of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life. And it\u2019s very important.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump on if he would sign a six-week national abortion ban<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m looking at all options.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Republic<\/a>: \u201cOn January 20, 2025, conservatives plan to resurrect a 150-year-old defunct law to ban abortion across the nation.<\/strong> This is not a secret plan\u2014far from it. It\u2019s part of the 180-Day Playbook produced by Project 2025, detailing priorities for an incoming conservative president on day one. These 900 pages lay out a Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity; all pregnancies would be carried to term, even if that requires coercion or death; and transgender and gender-nonconforming people do not exist\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe playbook says the president should enforce a 150-year-old law, the Comstock Act, which right-wing groups see as a way to ban abortion nationally because it outlaws the use of the mail for the purposes of sending or receiving any object that could be used for an abortion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve reviewed a lot of [Project 2025]. There are some good ideas in there.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201c[Project 2025] is undeniably a Trump-driven operation.<\/strong> The biggest tell: Johnny McEntee \u2014 one of Trump’s closest White House aides, and his most fervent internal loyalty enforcer \u2014 is a senior adviser to Project 2025. One of the most powerful architects is Stephen Miller, a top West Wing adviser for the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
