Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) has demonstrated serious political skill in articulating his presidential ticket’s abortion stance.

When answering on abortion policy during the vice presidential debate, Vance navigated the question expertly. He noted that what the Republican Party really needs to do is to earn trust by being “pro-family in the fullest sense of the word,” protecting innocent lives while supporting women and families in various policy areas. He said also that “Donald Trump has been very clear” that the most sensible way to handle abortion regulation is to leave it up to votes at the state level.
