Liberal governor says J.D. Vance should have to “go through” pregnancy after rape
By Cassie B. // Aug 26, 2024

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is under fire for hateful comments he made suggesting he wants former President Donald Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, to have to deal with a pregnancy caused by rape.

Beshear, who has been conducting interviews in support of Vice President Kamala Harris’s bid for the presidency, made the comments while appearing on MSNBC, where he accused Vance of not having respect for women’s “reproductive freedoms.”

He told "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski: “J.D. Vance calls pregnancy resulting from rape ‘inconvenient’. Inconvenience is traffic! Make him go through this!”

Vance was quick to call him out for his disgusting comment on X, formerly Twitter, writing: “What the hell is this? Why is [Andy Beshear] wishing that a member of my family would get raped?!?”

Vance’s communications director, William Martin, called Beshear’s comments “vile and disgusting”, saying: “We call on Kamala Harris to immediately repudiate Governor Beshear’s comments and demonstrate that regardless of partisan disagreements, this kind of violent rhetoric has no place in our public discourse.”

However, a defiant Beshear only doubled down on his comments when he appeared on MSNBC again later the same day, when he told Andrea Mitchell: “He’s trying to make himself the victim. As a man, J.D. Vance will never have to face any of this personally. But it’s sad that he lacks the empathy to be able to put himself in a different position.”

His attack stems from an interview in 2021 in which Vance shared his views on abortion exceptions for cases of rape. When Democrats accused him of calling rape “inconvenient” based on these remarks during his Senate run a year later, even fact-checkers had to admit that he never said rape was “inconvenient”, instead saying that society should not think of pregnancies caused by rape as inconvenient.

DNC focusing on abortion rights with Planned Parenthood "carnival" outside convention center

Abortion rights have played a central role in the Democratic National Convention, with three women talking about their traumatic pregnancy experiences at the DNC on Monday night and President Joe Biden warning Americans that Trump will “do everything to ban abortion nationwide” should he win the election – despite the fact that Trump has stated he would return the issue to each state to decide, in accordance with the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Planned Parenthood has parked a bus just outside of the convention center in Chicago, where they are offering free abortions and vasectomies to those who want them; they claim they have so many takers that they are fully booked all week. They are also handing out prescriptions for abortion pills, and patients can take them home with them or take them at the site.

The bus is set up inside a fenced parking lot and guarded by several security officers. Pro-life groups are protesting, and some have even set up a van of their own that offers ultrasounds and medications to reverse abortion pills.

Americans United for Life CEO John Mize criticized the “carnival” nature of the Planned Parenthood setup, telling Fox News: "It's being diminished, and it's being disrespected, the fact that this is a very complicated, very complex decision that these women are making, and, unfortunately, it's a carnival. They have blow-ups. They have food trucks. It's a bit of a show, unfortunately, and it diminishes the severity and significance of vulnerable women."

This is clearly a party that does not value human life and is proud of it, and it’s very unlikely that Harris or anyone else is going to renounce Beshear’s hateful comments.
