And yet, he’s a member of a party staunchly opposed to family leave, affordable healthcare and free lunches for poor children.

I worked for a female pediatrician who never married, never had children. But she had THOUSANDS of children she took care of.

[rockriverlady-uenu]

the best teacher i ever had was a childless women who devoted her whole life to the kids in her class later my son had a similar teacher these women where the best of the best

Having a child DOES NOT make you a good person. Being a parent DOES NOT make you a good person. Everyone needs to understand this

[GO-GO_SO-SO]

Bro is so obsessed with other people's children or lack thereof that it's actually concerning.

[Cutie]

This is a very sensitive topic for a lot of women. Not everyone can have children. He needs to shut up on this.

[shelbymitchell]

Hey I am single and childless and love being independent. Nothing is wrong about that.

[sheilaf]

Why this obsession with whether or not people have children? WEIRD!

[editk]

He’s only attacking childless women, not men. He’s a misogynist, because his mommy didn’t love him.

My wife and I have been suffering with infertility for years. I am personally offended by Vance’s comments, he is a creep and should not be in politics period

[PauletteJ-slty]

There are many of us whose bodies couldn't produce children and never had children despite IVF. However, many of us have had significant roles in children's lives through adoption, careers, volunteer work, etc. I'm tired of this clueless man harping on the issue of childless people. I KNOW I have contributed significantly to the next generation and society despite not physically producing a child.

[trishtalksflix]

So what about step parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, guardians, people who suffer from infertility and people who've lost children? They just don't count? He's disgusting.

[NicoleMarie]

Why does this weirdo care so much about how others live their lives?

[brendabatt]

I have a friend who's aunt dedicated her life to education. She never married or had children but she was devoted to her nieces and nephews. She was an amazing woman.

[KB-ymld]

I wonder if he'll say this was a "joke" too ... typical misogynistic narc.

[stevenrussell]

JD Vance needs to address his childhood trauma. It's striking how someone with so much wealth and privilege can be so remarkably self un-aware

[TimFredrick]

He thinks people are upset that he used the term "childless cat ladies." That's not it, J.V. You think people with children are better than people who don't. Full stop. That's the problem. We are American citizens with full voting rights and interest in this country's future whether we have kids or not.

[teresaserrone]

Mr Vance had a bad childhood. He didn't know his dad. He's probably a crappy dad. Feel sorry for HIS kids

[emeliathompson]

Why is Vance always bashing women without children? What a miserable guy.

[colinmcdonald]

People who try their hardest to have children and can't have them existed since the dawn of time. Not everyone has a choice to be childless.
