Vance: GOP has to earn America's trust back on abortion

Republican Senator J.D. Vance acknowledges that his party needs to rebuild trust on abortion, advocating for compassionate policies that provide support for women and families. Despite previously supporting a national abortion ban, Vance now aligns with former President Trump's position of leaving abortion policy to individual states. Vance's claim that Minnesota law allows infants who survive abortions to be left to die is disputed, with the law primarily focusing on providing care for such infants. The Republican Party's stance on abortion is evolving, with Trump indicating he would not sign a federal abortion ban into law. Minnesota's abortion laws include no gestational limits, allowing the procedure to be performed at any time during pregnancy. However, abortions late in pregnancy are rare, with 94% of abortions occurring at 13 weeks or earlier.
