KFF Health NewsJul 16 2024 During the Republican National Convention's opening night, Sen. J.D. Vance spoke to Fox News for his first interview as former President Donald Trump's vice presidential nominee.
“Donald Trump is running against a Joe Biden president who wants taxpayer-funded abortions up until the moment of birth,” Vance said.The vast majority of abortions in the U.S. — about 91% — occur in the first trimester. About 1% take place after 21 weeks, and far fewer than 1% occur in the third trimester and typically involve emergencies such as fatal fetal anomalies or life-threatening medical emergencies affecting the pregnant woman.
During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden promised to repeal the Hyde Amendment, which says federal funds can’t be used to pay for abortions, except in cases of rape or incest or to save the woman’s life. However, the amendment has continued to be included in congressional spending bills.

In response to a 2022 Vice News story highlighting the comments, Jai Chabria, a strategist for Vance, said the media missed Vance's point.
