(VOR News) – Former President Donald Trump has adopted a “consistent” stance against the defunding of Planned Parenthood, Sen. JD Vance, the Republican nominee for vice president, said to reporters on Saturday.
A reporter asked Republican Ohio congressman Vance whether Planned Parenthood, the reproductive health organization under fire from many conservatives because of its support of abortion rights, would suffer funding cuts should a hypothetical Trump administration take place.
“Our opinion is that taxpayers should not be liable for supporting late-term abortions,” Vance said on his stance on the topic of defunding Planned Parenthood during Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.”During the first run of the Trump campaign, that was a reoccurring point of view. That viewpoint will never change.
Data published this year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that 93.5% of abortions carried out in 2021 at or before 13 weeks’ gestation were Between 14 and 20 weeks accounted for 5.7% of abortions; 0.9% were carried out at or beyond 21 weeks.
Sunday night pleas for information from Planned Parenthood and the Trump team were ignored.
Declaring in a statement that “a second Trump term is an unacceptable risk to the well-being of American women and their families,” Lauren Hitt, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign manager, disagreed with Vance’s comments.
“Elect Vice President Harris, who will defend women’s access to health care and reproductive freedom,” Hitt says, “the only way to stop an unchecked Trump and his MAGA allies from ripping away freedoms from American women.”
Democrats have regularly emphasized Trump’s remarks on abortion, claiming that he would support its outlawing. Trump responded on Tuesday that he would veto a federal law prohibited on social media against abortion.
Former first lady Melanie Trump is said to have mentioned in her upcoming memoir her support of abortion rights. As published in The Guardian, she penned, “Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body?”
Media sources cite “a woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.” NBC News has not yet independently confirmed the contents of the book; it has not yet been published either.
Trump revealed in a recent Fox News interview that he and his wife “engaged in a conversation regarding the matter, and I advised him, ‘You must express your convictions.'”
There were also no planned parenthood instructions.
Your own ideas should guide your writing. In a September NBC News poll, 33% of registered voters supported Trump and 54% of them thought Harris would be a better option in terms of abortion policy.
Vance admitted last week’s vice presidential debate’s relative lack of confidence among voters in Republicans about abortion.
“I think that what I take from that as a Republican who proudly wants to protect innocent life in this country, who proudly wants to protect the vulnerable, is that our party, we have to do so much more better at earning the American people’s trust back on this issue, where they, honestly, just don’t trust us,” Vance said.
Anticipating the November election, Trump has tried to refocus the conversation toward the middle on the campaign trail. Nonetheless, his government has put many policies in place to discourage involvement in the voting process.
He has thanked the three judges he selected to the Supreme Court for their ruling reversing Roe v. Wade and eliminating government safeguards for the procedure.
On Truth Social last year, Trump said, “I was able to kill Roe v. Wade, much to the’shock’shuck’s, after 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close”.
Since then, he has reinforced the comment during his political campaign.
Planned Parenthood left Title X, a government family planning program, in 2019 when the Trump administration implemented a rule limiting participating clinics from sending patients seeking abortions to other doctors.
Although anti-abortion rights groups contend that it is impossible for the government to confirm that financing for other services does not subsidize abortion services, Planned Parenthood was previously forbidden from using federal funds for abortions.
President Joe Biden revoked the order made by President Trump by restoring government financing for institutions that refer patients looking for abortions.
Citing his pro-life posture, Trump announced in 2016 that he intended to stop funding Planned Parenthood from government sources during a debate.
