At RNC, Mike Lawler Celebrates Anti-Abortion Extremist JD Vance As Trump’s VP

Yesterday, Mike Lawler celebrated Donald Trump picking JD Vance as his Vice Presidential candidate on the floor of the RNC.

Vance, whose agenda includes “eliminating abortion,” has a history of opposing women’s reproductive rights, including:

• Supporting a total abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest.

• Arguing that “two wrongs don’t make a right” when asked whether abortion bans should allow exceptions for rape and incest.

• Campaigning against Ohio’s ballot initiative to protect reproductive rights, calling the measure’s passage “a gut punch.”

• Voting against codifying abortion rights, against restoring Roe v. Wade, and against protecting access to in vitro fertilization and contraception.

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty: 
“Mike Lawler’s unabashed support for JD Vance only amplifies his own anti-abortion, anti-freedom record that is completely out of touch with the values and needs of Lower Hudson Valley families.”
