A Tale of Two Vice Presidential Candidates — Abortion Access Is On the Line
For Immediate Release: Aug. 6, 2024
The choice between Tim Walz and JD Vance could not be more clear
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice presidential candidate, a solid choice to go head to head against JD Vance. Walz’s track record shows he’ll stand beside Harris and continue pushing to protect our reproductive rights. JD Vance on the other hand would push Donald Trump’s dangerous and unpopular agenda even further and gleefully enact the GOP’s Project 2025 takeover of our democracy. Jenny Lawson, executive director for Planned Parenthood Votes released the following statement:
“Gov. Walz is a reproductive rights champion for Minnesotans who’s signed laws expanding and protecting the right to abortion and making health care more affordable. In stark contrast, JD Vance has spent his entire career in elected office attacking our fundamental freedoms. From his support for a national abortion ban to his refusal to protect access to IVF, it’s clear that Vance believes that he should have a say in personal medical decisions that should be between a patient and their doctor. The Trump-Vance ticket is the biggest threat to reproductive freedom we’ve seen in generations and they must be stopped. Planned Parenthood Votes is working to ensure Kamala Harris and Tim Walz make it to the White House, where they can build on the work Harris has done as vice president to protect our lives, bodies, and futures.”
