Sen. J.D. Vance

Ohio (Republican)

Summary

118th Congress Sen. Vance has stood up against the extremist nominees of the pro-abortion Biden-Harris administration, and against pro-abortion action both in the administration and through legislation advanced by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Sen. Vance has voted consistently to defend the lives of the unborn and infants. This includes stopping hard-earned tax dollars from paying for abortion, including abortion travel expenses, whether domestically or internationally, and pushing back on the administration’s extreme abortion executive actions.

Sen. Vance was actively engaged in fighting Ohio's extreme abortion amendment, advocating publicly for the protection of unborn children. Sen. Vance spoke on the Senate floor against the Department of Defense’s illegal and immoral abortion travel policy. He also gave a speech calling out the Biden administration's politicized Department of Justice, which arrested a pro-life father. During an Oversight hearing, Sen. Vance drew attention to major CEOs and their companies’ abortion activism.
