1:25Now PlayingFormer President Donald Trump needs to win back the trust of women concerned about losing access to abortion by implementing pro-family policies, Sen. JD Vance said during his vice presidential debate with Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday.
“So many young women would love to have families. So many young women also see an unplanned pregnancy as something that It's going to destroy their livelihood, destroy their education, destroy their relationships, and we have got to earn people's trust back," Vance said in response to a question about his support for a national abortion ban.
“Donald Trump and I are committed to pursuing pro-family policies, making child care more accessible, making fertility treatments more accessible because we've got to do a better job at that.”
Vance denied he had been questioned about his support for a federal ban on abortion after 15 weeks.
“I never supported a national ban. I did, when I was running for Senate in 2022, talk about setting some minimum national standard,” he said.
Vance and Walz faced each other in their first, and possibly last, vice presidential debate, hosted by CBS in New York on Oct. 1.
Both are relatively unknown to the broader American public. Walz was a U.S. House member before becoming governor of Minnesota. Vance is in his first term as a senator from Ohio.
