Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), former President Donald Trump‘s running mate, reiterated over the weekend that a second Trump administration would defund Planned Parenthood.

Vance told Real Clear Politics that the campaign has been “consistent” in its view of not supporting taxpayer funding for abortions. During this cycle, the Trump campaign has pushed for leaving the legality of abortion up to states rather than the federal government after the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
