Jesus. Mamaw had 8 abortions?! Wow.
And his mamaw would probably have been charged. There’s no way she would be able to convince the Maga nut government she lost all eight naturally. But don’t worry everyone, women won’t have to think about abortion if Trump becomes president.
(Just want to make it clear in case the tone of my writing doesn’t come through, Trump and Vance are complete lowlife scum sucking pieces of shit.)
>The memoir’s beating heart is Bonnie Blanton Vance, or “Mamaw,” the maternal grandmother Vance [called his “guardian angel” ](https://www.npr.org/live-updates/trump-2024-rnc-milwaukee#vance-recounts-path-to-the-podium-sparking-chants-for-mamaw)in his July acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. Blanton helped raise the future Yale Law School grad when his drug-addicted mother could not, saving him from becoming just another entry in a long family history of shiftless angry white men.
>In *Hillbilly Elegy*, Vance holds Blanton up as the force of nature behind his successes. But the book also suggests she may be an unintended case study of something quite different: the importance of reproductive healthcare for everyone. In his memoir, Vance says that his beloved grandmother suffered eight miscarriages over ten years, plus four pregnancies that came to term.
“Shiftless angry white men” often harbor severe irony deficiencies.
We know republicans hate women, but Vance hates his grandma too eh?
Oh goody, another hypocritical GOP asshole.
>In 2023, Vance signed on to a letter to the secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, along with 29 other Republican lawmakers, urging the agency to reverse a new rule that bars law enforcement officers from accessing patients’ reproductive healthcare records, particularly those trying to prosecute women for crossing state lines for abortion care.
>“Abortion is not health care,” the letter said. “It is a brutal act that destroys the life of an unborn child and hurts women.” Vance supports a national abortion ban, and he doesn’t believe in exceptions for rape and incest. “Two wrongs don’t make a right,” he said in an interview during his 2022 Ohio Senate campaign.
>“It’s not whether a woman should be forced to bring a child to term, it’s whether a child should be allowed to live, even though the circumstances of that child’s birth are somehow inconvenient or a problem to the society.”
Whelp, October is officially here now. Everything considered, this election cycle, what precisely would constitute as “surprising,” though? Perhaps, if Trump bit the head off of a live bat on stage, at one of his unsecured rallies?!
Remember Mitt Romney and his “binders full of women?” What about Dan Quayle misspelling “potato?” Remember when it was scandalous that Obama wore a tan suit?! The sheer cheek! Who did he think he was, the President of the United States?
She bought him his first eye makeup.
So what we’ve learned is there could have been eight possible chances to avoid J.D. Vance existing (if any of those took before his lineage). Damn it.
If this is the same mother that had the drug addiction problem, then there absolutely is a very real chance that she would’ve been charged with manslaughter and spent years in prison if this had happened in today’s legal environment.
It has become a common thing in some states that if a woman with a drug addiction problem has a miscarriage while pregnant, she may be charged with a homicide offense if the wrong person learns about the situation. Those sorts of prosecutions were starting to become more prevalent even before the demise of Roe vs. Wade.
What are the odds that for a woman eho had at least four kids born during those years, that she thought she couldn’t care for any more and some of those were actually abortions?
Part of the playbook, if you haven’t noticed by now.
So nine failed pregnancies including JD
I had one miscarriage and it was so bad it took me several years before I was willing to try again. If they outlaw birth control next they are dooming women to go through that over and over again. If someone wants to keep trying to have a baby, of course I support that decision. But for women who have a history of multiple miscarriages and at some point want to stop going through that, denying birth control sounds like cruel and unusual punishment.
How would he know mamaw had 8 miscarriages? I don’t know if my mother had any, let alone either of my grandmothers. Did she say to him, “junior, I’ve had 8 miscarriages, so you best make sure no one else can have care for their lady parts?”
He should have been one of them!
This makes me think she had any number other than 8 miscarriages.
This guy, like all leading Republicans, is a pathological liar.
Good enough for me, not for thee.
After listening to JD Vance we can all understand why his mother traded him for a handful of Perc 30s.
if only his mother had more
What would happen if the wife of one of these MAGA idiots is bleeding out and going septic from pregnancy complications? Will they just watch it happen? Or will they scream at doctors to do something even though they themselves put damaging legislation in place to deny her care?
We’ve seen women getting charged for miscarriages. We’ve seen these idiots not understand that an ectopic pregnancy is a medical emergency that could kill women. Women are forced to carry non viable fetuses to term only for the baby to die in agony hours later.
I don’t want to believe in whatever God they think would be cool with all of this.
God was trying to help mamaw prevent a JD but she just wouldn’t listen.
To them, a woman that has a failed pregnancy is useless and disposable, and therefore doesn’t deserve to live
That the same “Mawmae” that doused her alcoholic husband in gasoline and set him on fire?
8 damn
What was she doing eating them?
Oh wait only Democrats do that
/s
This is beside the point, but I just don’t believe Vance called his grandma Mawmaw. I feel like this is one of his many attempts to seem more “folksy” than he ever was.
