J.D. Vance Scrubs Campaign Website That Urged 'Eliminating Abortion'—And No One's Surprised

A day after J.D. Vance was chosen by Donald Trump to be his Vice Presidential running mate, Vance scrubbed his campaign site of a radical 'End Abortion' page.

As former President Donald Trump's running mate J.D. Vance is facing renewed criticism about his far-right views, now he's gone ahead and scrubbed his campaign website of a page that calls for "eliminating abortion."

The page, titled "End Abortion," praises the Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade, reversing a woman's right to choose reproductive healthcare without excessive government restriction.


On July 15, the day Trump named Vance his vice presidential pick, HuffPostpolitics reporter Jennifer Bendery shared a screenshot of the page on X, formerly Twitter.

Vance says the following about abortion:

"I am 100 percent pro-life and believe that abortion has turned our society into a place where we see children as an inconvenience to be thrown away rather than a blessing to be nurtured. Eliminating abortion is first and foremost about protecting the unborn, but it's also about making our society more pro-child and pro-family."
"The historic Dobbs decision puts this new era of society into motion, one that prioritizes family and the sanctity of all life. The pro-life fight continues by ensuring that every young mother has the resources to bring new life into the world, expanding adoption and promoting pregnancy centers, so that every child grows up in a loving home, as they deserve."
"We'll expand child tax credits and ensure that young parents don't come home from the hospital with budget-busting surprise bills."

The day after Vance's big moment, Benderey noted something else: The page was gone.

Vance was harshly criticized and many emphasized how quickly Vance had acted to remove any mention of his opposition to abortion with no exceptions, which data shows is remarkably unpopular.


Vance has a record of opposition to reproductive rights and bodily autonomy across the nation.

As a Senator, Vance also voted against a bill to safeguard access to IVF, introduced legislation to criminalize doctors providing medically necessary healthcare to transgender youth, and pledged to support a national abortion ban.

Additionally, Vance has argued against allowing victims of rape and incest to access abortion care. He has pushed back against criticisms by arguing that the matter is "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."

Vance went on to say that the Republican Party wants women "to have opportunities, we want women to have choices, but, above all, we want women and young boys in the womb to have a right to life.”

People Share Their Most Embarrassing Small Town Stories

I lived most of my life in a very small town in Northern Maine. There were about 200 kids in my high school and there were 56 kids in my graduating class—we were tied with the class of 1961 for the largest class ever.

When the primary employer in town—Pinkham Lumber Mill—shut down, the town got even smaller. Now the senior class is considered large if it reaches double digits.
