Yvette Herrell Doubles Down on Anti-Abortion Extremism, Celebrating J.D. Vance

Like Herrell, Trump's VP pick wants to ban abortion nationwide

It's no wonder that Yvette Herrell rushed to celebrate Donald Trump picking J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate - they both want to ban abortion nationwide.

Herrell couldn't help but gush over the announcement, calling Vance a "fantastic choice" who is "dedicated to the constitutional principles and conservative policies that our nation must return to."

Both J.D. Vance and Yvette Herrell support a national abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. Herrell said on camera that she wished she "could have eliminated all abortion in the state." When asked about exceptions for rape survivors, Vance said "two wrongs don't make a right."

Of course, J.D. Vance is now trying to hide his views on abortion, much like when Yvette Herrell intentionally scrubbed all mentions of abortion from her campaign website. However, like Vance, Yvette Herrell can't run from the truth.

Vance even suggested that people in 'violent' marriages shouldn't get a divorce, while Yvette Herrell voted against the Violence Against Women Act.

DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
"Yvette Herrell and J.D. Vance want the same thing: to ban abortion and strip women in New Mexico and across the country of the right to control their own bodies. New Mexico voters will reject their reckless and dangerous agenda in November."
