JD Vance Is Lying on Abortion
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz faced Sen. JD Vance of Ohio Tuesday night at the vice presidential debate, and day-after results are showing more or less a toss-up on who won among pundits.
Admittedly, Vance sounded coherent and slick. But much of what he said—especially on abortion, IVF and childcare—were lies, engineered for women to let their guards down and to distance himself from his extreme views, most of which are ripped right from Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership. Vance has stood consistently against abortion rights during his two-year political career—despite attempts Tuesday night to embody a congenial and reasonable version of conservatism.

Unpacking the Chaos of the Trump Years (with #SistersInLaw Hosts Jill Wine Banks and Kimberly Atkins Stohr)
Breaking news took on new meaning during Donald Trump’s term in the White House—from a ban on Muslims from entering the U.S. and locking children in cages at the border, to the end of Roe v. Wade and the elimination of important environmental protections. After Trump’s defeat in 2020, the “Stop The Steal” campaign took off, leading to more than 60 lawsuits challenging election results and the Jan. 6 insurrection. Notably, he appointed more federal judges than any other president save George Washington, including three to the U.S. Supreme Court.
To unpack the Trump era, the civil and criminal lawsuits, and much more, Dr. Michele Goodwin is joined by very special guests: Webby Award winning #SistersInLaw podcasters Jill Wine-Banks and Kimberly Atkins Stohr.
