Tim Walz and JD Vance share their views on abortion during VP debate

November 2024 will mark the first U.S. presidential election since the Supreme Court overturned its landmark decision in Roe v. Wade that established a federal constitutional right to abortion. Watch Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. JD Vance discuss the issue of reproductive rights during the CBS News vice presidential debate on Tuesday.

im suprised that this was the most normal debate since...obama and romney in 2012

[paige]

I like how respectful they were to each other

When Vance asked Walz on how he was wrong on how Minnesota’s abortion law was written, Walz refused to answer his question. And the cbs monitors let it go.

[lanes]

Here is an excerpt from 2 weeks ago, by the Washington Examiner, regarding the abortion bill, he signed into law. It’s a fact and the reason Walz didn’t want to answer it.
“ Under the new regulations, abortion providers do not have to provide much data to the state Department of Health, about each procedure and are only required to report how the abortion was performed, the age of the woman, and the approximate gestational age of the fetus. They do not have to report if the mother‘s life or health was at stake, nor do they have to report if the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest.”

Walz started to shake his head No before Vance hardly got started asking him the question!

JD, what have you done: Just one of his 36 bills has received a committee vote in Congress, with none yet enacted into law.

Notice how the republican completely ignored the info about lack of abortions causing women to die. And instead repeating himself “well we will work to reduce cost of daycare so women feel better about having babies”. WHAT

Saying choice is important doesn't mean anything if that choice stops at the state level.

Jd Vance just said that the woman was in an abusive relationship, then proceeded to say that he's trying to protect unborn life. Does he not know that if someone is willing to abuse their spouse/partner, statistically, they're more likely to abuse the kids?

He moves so quickly with the subjects he's covering, I dont think most republicans would've picked up on the fact that he said nothing of substance.

He acknowledged the fact that the woman was in a terrible situation to raise a kid, then said absolutely nothing on: if she had the baby, if she got safe, what she did with the baby if she had; literally, no follow up.

We need real media in the United States not fake news

Amber Thurman died due to excess bleeding from taking an abortion pill.

As a Minnesotans, JD Vance is correct on the Minnesota law. Walz is lying.

[connmand]

He brings up a couple of women who died or might have died as justification for the genocide of hundreds of thousands of children. Make it make sense.

I don’t understand why abortion is a federal issue—clearly the Supreme Court agreed the individual states need to make their own choice—it also keeps the federal government from using tax payer money for financing abortion clinics

[happybeejv]

I believe in equity in abortion.
The child should decide if the parents are alive
Or if they are a clump of cells like a wet robot

[deborahbarbour]

Trust what??!! Vance has said women in abusive relationships should stay & supports outlawing abortion choice. 😡 Vote BLUE!! 💙❤💙

[Lynsey]

People who don't believe women have a right to decide their own medical care and people who believe the government violated their medical autonomy with vaccination mandates would be a fascinating Venn diagram.

[TheLysineContingency]

Walz lying through his teeth - that is absolutely what the law does in Minnesota

[Mrthcenturyman]

JD Vance's message to women with an unplanned pregnancy. Trust us.

[andrewjones]

Slavery denied peoples rights. Slavery was left to the states. We, the people, decided that leaving the rights of people to the states was wrong!
