Ohio Republican Senator JD Vance walked back on some major points of the GOP’s abortion rights stance after his state voted to enshrine protections for the procedure.
On Tuesday, Ohio voters made clear that they wanted to protect the constitutional right to abortion in the state by supporting Issue 1 on Tuesday. Mr Vance called the vote “a gut punch” in a lengthy X post.
“Giving up on the unborn is not an option. It’s politically dumb and morally repugnant. Instead, we need to understand why we lost this battle so we can win the war,” he wrote.
In an apparent message to other members of his party, the Ohio Republican pointed out four key GOP values that contributed to Issue 1’s demise at the ballot box.
First, he suggested that the current Republican view on the procedure is too extreme.

First, he suggested that the current Republican view on the procedure is too extreme.
“We got creamed among voters who disliked both Issue 1 and also Ohio’s current law,” which bans abortions after 22 weeks. He said polling and conversations indicated that voters would rather permit the procedure than “the other extreme.”
In his second concession, Sen Vance explained that voters distrust Republican officials when it comes to abortion. Later in his tweet, Mr Vance discussed the need for better messaging. “You can criticize the propaganda effort on the other side for lying to people about these issues or confusing the populace, but it suggests we have to do a much better job of persuasion,” he wrote."...
