Trump's VP Pick, J.D. Vance, Pushed for Police to Track & Criminalize Abortions

As Donald Trump and his new running mate J.D. Vance try to soften their anti-abortion position ahead of the 2024 election, new documents uncovered by The Lever show Vance lobbied just last year to let police track people who cross state lines for abortions. Vance, a first-term senator from Ohio, pressured federal regulators to kill a privacy rule designed to prevent state and local police in anti-abortion states from using private medical records to prosecute people who access abortion services elsewhere. What's really shocking and scary about this story is that the rule was just implemented by the Biden administration, it wasn't signed into law. So, an incoming Trump administration could potentially repeal it," says reporter Veronica Riccobene.
