Today in Ohio Asks: With JD Vance’s Flip-Flopping on Abortion, Can We Trust Him Now?

September 9, 2024

Columbus, OH — Last week, Cleveland.com’s on Sep 9th, in Ohio spotlighted JD Vance’s flip-flopping record on abortion and asked the question that’s been on voters’ minds across the country. Can we trust what he says now?

Ohioans have known who JD Vance is since the beginning of his political career- an anti-abortion extremist who will say or do anything to get more power.

He was at the Ohio March for Life. He campaigned vigorously against Ohio’s issue one that enshrined reproductive rights in the constitution. Donald Trump said he wasn’t for a federal abortion ban, so now Vance is pretty much saying the same thing. […] He seems like he’s changing by the minute for expedience.

“You can’t trust that what he’s saying now will be what he’s saying in three months because he has repeatedly changed it. Just two years ago, he wanted a blanket ban with no exceptions for incest or rape. And today he favors the abortion drug. But really, what does he stand for?”

It’s frightening to have somebody that is so wishy washy on something of this importance. I don’t understand why any woman hearing this would vote for this guy. When somebody stands for nothing like he does, you can’t trust him.

Can we trust Vance now? To answer the question, Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer released the following statement.

“No.”
