Does Vance Have a Moral Duty to Support a Federal Abortion Ban?

August 26, 2024

On Sunday, vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance told NBC’s Kristen Welker that Donald Trump would likely veto a federal abortion ban during an interview on Meet the Press. The former President seemed to imply as much in a post on Truth Social on Friday when he asserted, “My Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.”


On today’s episode of The Spectator P.M. Podcast, hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Aubrey Gulick discuss the moral implications of the Republican Party platform for Vance, who is a Catholic convert, and for Catholics like him who find themselves aligned with a party that seems to have given up on the pro-life cause. They discuss the way the Dobbs decision blindsided the pro-life movement and the impact it has had on the Republican Party. Join them to hear their analysis!
