Abortion was a main focus of Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance. The Ohio senator tried to soften the Republican ticket’s position and repeated Donald Trump’s claim that states are best equipped to decide on reproductive health access, while Walz highlighted that state differences on abortion have already contributed to the deaths of pregnant people following the end of Roe v. Wade. Amy Littlefield, abortion access correspondent at The Nation, says Vance’s “hard-line position” on abortion has “flunked with the American people,” and urges people to “not get distracted by the slick talking points.”
