Sen. JD Vance, who has been dragged for his controversial comments about women ever since Donald Trump selected him as his running mate, added to the list Wednesday by suggesting that it isnt normal for women to care about abortion rights.
In a post-Roe v. Wade country where Republican lawmakers have restricted that right for millions of women in dozens of states, Vance didnt seem to understand why that might be a key issue in the upcoming election when asked by Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
One of my dear friends said to me tonight that all these suburban womenall they care about is abortion, and they dont understand the decision is with the states now. Its not banned nationally, even if some people want it to be banned nationally, she said. What do you say to suburban women out there who are marinating in this propaganda?
Vance promptly suggested that such concerns were abnormal. Well, first of all, I dont buy that, Laura. I think most suburban women care about the normal things that most Americans care about, right? he replied. They care about inflation, they care about the price of groceries, they care about public safety in the streets where their kids play.

Oh, JD do enlighten us on what suburban women care about. Has he ever even known a suburban woman?

In fact, I don't just suggest it, I unequivocally declare it.
