Vance says Trump wouldn't ban abortion pill days after Trump indicated he would be open to it
Vance said Trump wants individual states and voters in those states to make decisions on abortion policies and for the federal government to respect those decisions.
Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance on Sunday sought to walk back former President Donald Trump’s recent comments suggesting that he is open to banning access to mifepristone, one of the two drugs used in medication abortions.
In an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” the Ohio Republican was asked whether a Trump-Vance administration would use the Food and Drug Administration to block access to mifepristone.
“Well, no,” he said. “What the president has said very clearly is that abortion policy should be made by the states, right? You of course want to make sure that any medicine is safe and it’s prescribed in the right way, and so forth.”
Vance said Trump wants individual states and voters in those states to make decisions on abortion policies and for the federal government to respect those decisions.
He added that Trump has “consistently” said the party needs “to get out of the culture war side of the abortion issue.”
