Why conservative women dealing with infertility aren’t upset about Vance’s ‘cat ladies’ comment

Some say the dig on childless women is disheartening' but that there are more pressing issues' demanding attention

JD Vance's history of derogatory comments about childless cat ladies" has fueled condemnation from Democrats, celebrities and even a Republican host of The View. But while many have pointed out how callous the remarks might feel for women dealing with infertility, conservative women who have struggled to have children are not necessarily pulling away from Vance or his running mate, Donald Trump.

Since being tapped to serve as Donald Trump's vice-presidential nominee last month, Vance has faced a barrage of criticism for his comments about the role that childfree people should play in US society - people who, he has said, are more sociopathic" than those with children and have made the United States less mentally stable". In particular, Vance has targeted America's leadership class", Democrats and journalists for not having children.
