    It is normal, and the fact that he doesn’t recognize that most people are against him on this point is part of why people have been using the word weird to describe many things about him.

    Fuck you JD, I’ve never been more happier to be classified as not normal.

    I won’t go into our own personal experiences regarding the abortion question, but I would not wish anyone in this circumstance to be forced to carry to term:

    [*Nancy Davis said she found out 10 weeks into her pregnancy that her unborn child had a condition called Acrania, where the fetus’ skull does not form inside the womb. The Fetal Medicine Foundation said a baby born with this “lethal condition” does not survive past the first week.*](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/louisiana-woman-carrying-fetus-skull-seek-abortion-another-state-rcna45005)

  3. Donald Trump was going to choose a VP, and JD Vance understood the assignment completely–and he completed that assignment with a perfect score.

    The same skills and abilities that he utilized to convince Donald Trump are not useful in winning over members of the public. JD Vance is failing that assignment.

  4. MAGA regressives will tell you abortion access is a “States Rights” issue while also pushing for a federal ban.

    They will lie and gaslight because they known their opinion is unpopular.

    But fuck you, they’ll do what they want.

    Abortion rights are essential freedoms. It’s normal to care about our essential freedoms.

    Insulting women for caring about their essential freedoms is not going to win the republicans any votes. Vance will find out when the blue wave comes in November

  6. Well a couple of states have certified that reproductive rights will be on the ballot. That issue alone will draw thousands of new young voters to the polls. While they are voting on that initiative there they will almost universally vote Dem from top to bottom. Sometimes not normal works out just fine. I know the latest DJT and JD scam is to try minimize this issue, good luck with that. Have a seat and watch, just not on my couch.

    He’s not even trying to reach people halfway here…. Other politicians at least pretend to

    Such a weird candidate, why did Trump pick this loser

    Jesus christ, this new woman harming evangelical society treats livestock and pets better than wives, daughters, and mothers.

    Ok I’m convince Trump campaign never vetted this weirdo at all 😂the worst VP pick ever

    • ⁠Check your registration here as well. Some states have purged voter rolls and you may need to register again.
    • ⁠Some states require you to register 30 days before the election you wish to vote in.
    • ⁠If you have questions check with your local election officials.

  11. Republicans think of abortions as guns and how mad you get at someone even saying anything about gun control.

    Now you realize why you’re losing I hope. You can’t take away something 50 percent of the population had believed was their personal rights and take them away.

    The older generation of Republicans and judges knew it was all just something to rile you up and get you to vote, but to actually take it away was political suicide. The problem is the next generations were true believers and thought they were how everyone in the country thought.

  12. Objective_Oven7673 on

    I was told by a republican woman with daughters that I should “stay out of it” because I’m a man, and that supporting abortion rights wasn’t a valid reason to vote for Democrats.

    A plurality of these people are just gone

  13. He’s so bad at this. If caring about protecting them is weird, then caring about getting rid of them is also weird. 

    Man is addicted to stepping on brakes

    How would Vance like it if his reproductive healthcare was taken from him. Those little sperm can be labeled as babies…..oh you got ball cancer, ganna kill alot of babies removing that ball……oh you just blew a wad of sperm into some toilet paper, I guess you killed a bunch of babies……Should politicians get a record of your sperm count to keep an eye on all those babies in your balls.

  15. BiggsIDarklighter on

    Nice try dickwad, but a shit ton of normal people care about abortion rights and they’re going to make their voices heard at the ballot box with their votes 💙

  16. Glum_Appearance_3708 on

    I am a man and I will always say “I’ll be damned if I tell someone else what to do with their body.” It is NOT my place to tell a woman she can’t abort a pregnancy. It is NOT my place to say that an individual can’t be transsexual. It IS my place to show empathy and kindness to support whatever someone’s decision is to make for their own body.

    Edit: added “say”

  17. That’s because many men on the right, for a variety of reasons, can’t conceptualize what it’s like as a man to have a sex life, especially a casual one.

    Caring about abortion rights is normal for any man who prioritizes his partners general wellbeing. Abortion provides safeguards against unwanted pregnancy, it’s a right. Access to abortion is a product of medical advancements that we’re lucky to live with compared to generations before us who dealt with unwanted pregnancies.

  18. BackFromTheDeadSoon on

    Do you know why I, a 40-something man with grown sons, care about abortion rights even though they’re unlikely to affect me at all for the remainder of my life?

    Because I have empathy. And that’s why Republicans will never understand – they’re incapable of empathy; that’s why they’re Republicans.

  19. thefoodleftinthesink on

    ok. i am honestly in awe of this man. just utterly incapable of reading the room. how does he go from two savage weeks of being called a couchophiliac, right into pictures of him in communist shirts and then in drag, only to land at the next cycle where he’s saying post-menopausal women are only good for child-caring. And then THIS. holy jesus.

  20. But tracking pregnant women like they’re members of a terrorist cell to make sure they don’t leave the state is normal.

    This fucking guy.

  21. 50 years of legal precedent made the abortion rights normal. Three generations of Americans grew up understanding it to be the norm. Suddenly yanking it away is abnormal, and defending that is weird.

  22. camelsinthefridge on

    He cares about them though. He cares about getting rid of them. Rather abnormal.

  23. This just in: suburbanites trying to build a family also care strongly about their reproductive rights! Imagine, people actively trying to reproduce might also care about their reproductive rights, like whether they’ll be condemned to die of an ectopic or have to carry a fetus with a fatal anomaly to term or any other of a million reasons why someone might need or want to end a pregnancy!

  24. Then stay out of it and stop taking it away! I hate that we have to debate such basic human rights when we can get past all this by simply letting us have our humanity and get to a point where we can talk about all human issues that move us forward, together, like…i don’t know… jobs, housing, food access, education, infrastructure…. so we can get to true, healthy innovation by the people rather than whatever crap we are doing arguing with each other while selfish AF billionaires are playing capitalism chess.

    Instead politics chose to focus on single voter issues on people’s sex lives, race baiting, and making women subservient. So here the hell we are trying to get on the same goddamn page on why we need to be better to each other as humans.

    Keep it up JD we need more of that 🔥

    Cat ladies & parents with no kids

    Insulting Tim Walz military service

    Abortion rights aren’t normal

    If he just keeps repeating these talking points, the democrats won’t even have to campaign anymore.

    We might as well invite JD Vance over to the democratic convention so that he can do more campaigning for the democratic party with his horrible talking points on stage 👌🏽

  26. Aussiebiblophile on

    It’s not normal for anyone to get involved in a medical decision between a woman and a doctor. It is normal to want everyone to have body autonomy. I really fucking hate what is going on in the US with the eradication of women’s rights so much that I, an Australian woman, donated to 3 US organisations in an effort to help them fight this Republican driven bullshit.

  27. The Republicans spent 50 years trying to end access to abortion. They achieved their goal. Now they are realizing it’s a political disaster. Statements like Vance’s are just magical thinking because they are going to keep losing over abortion. There is no way to fix it either.

  28. thedoommerchant on

    So tired of seeing this chud speak already. Fuck him and the couch he rode in on. I hope we’re nearing the day when this MAGA lunacy comes to an end once and for all.

  29. I can understand why Trumpians thought that Vance might be the way to put it, their desire to return to a world where pregnancy is purposeful and family values are the public ones. He’s articulate, and he’s not wrong on everything.

    He’s Trump Jr.’s fantasy of what kind of real Murican person he thinks he is himself, because he inherited his father’s bullshit self-aggrandizement. American dream creaming on himself.

    Vance is actually smarter and more capable than the Trumps, but he’s still half-wrong and backwards while making some kind of point about values. No one gaf, because he’s a hypocrite.

    These guys have taken down Christianity with the hubris.

    If you don’t care about abortion rights why are you trying so hard to take them away? Also why the fuck is your enter campaign mostly based around abortion if you don’t care about it?

  31. Significant-Dog-8166 on

    “About 10% to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage.” – People in my family had miscarriages. Miscarriages can require “abortions” in some cases the health of the mother. Miscarriages have no term limits, they can happen all the way up until the “normal” point of birth. No Normal man should want to prevent women from having every Safe Medical option available at Every stage of pregnancy.

  32. Spin_Quarkette on

    Vance is probably one of the least people in the world to define what normal is. He doesn’t look like he’s had a day of normalcy in his life. What a weird freak show!
