Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called Ohio Sen. JD Vances (R) personal connection to reproductive rights during Tuesdays vice presidential debate clever, but she said it isnt real, stressing it doesnt show clear support for women to make their own reproductive decisions.
I think that that was clever to use that personal connection, but it isnt real in terms of women having the right to make their own decisions and not politicians making their decisions for them, Pelosi told host Dana Bash in an interview on CNN.
Bash had asked Pelosi what her response was to remarks made by Vance during the debate where the senator opened up about a woman he knew who had an abortion.
I grew up in a working-class family in a neighborhood where I knew a lot of young women who had unplanned pregnancies and decided to terminate those pregnancies because they feel like they didnt have any other options, Vance said during the debate.

(119,613 posts)women. . ." BULLSHIT!!! BULLSHIT!!! BULLSHIT!!! First off, pedantically, it is "many", not 'a lot of", you lying piece of filth. Second, there are not "many"abortions in a single neighborhood. Third, you cannot seriously expect us to believe that all those many young women were confiding in you, you misogynistic, patriarchal, woman-hating creep.
