Kamala Harris Trolls JD Vance On World IVF Day With Press Release For The Ages

Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign trolled former President Donald Trump's running mate J.D. Vance by releasing a press release criticizing him on World IVF Day, which is celebrated each year to acknowledge and honor the significant contributions embryologists have made in the field of fertility treatment and reproductive medicine.

The campaign first highlighted remarks Vance made about taking away voting power from “people who don’t have kids":

"When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power, you should have more of an ability to speak your voice in our democratic republic than people who don't have kids."

"Let's face it, the consequences and the reality. If you don't have enough of an investment in the future of this country, maybe you shouldn't get nearly the same voice. Now people will ... criticize me for this in the coming days."

"“Doesn't this mean that non-parents don't have as much of a voice as parents? Doesn't this mean that parents get a bigger say in how our democracy functions? Yes. Absolutely."

The campaign then followed up with the following press release titled “Happy World IVF Day To Everyone Except JD Vance" taking aim at Vance for his remarks:

"True to form, J.D. Vance is marking World IVF Day by insulting couples struggling with infertility, demeaning women's choices and their freedoms, and reminding voters about his and Donald Trump's anti-IVF Project 2025 agenda."

"It's par for the course for Vance, who voted against legislation to protect IVF access, and his boss Donald Trump, who promised to fight 'side by side' with opponents of IVF and refuses to commit to vetoing a law that would endanger IVF access in all 50 states."

"Trump, Vance, and their entire party have made it clear that they stand against women and their ability to start a family when and how they choose - and voters will make their stance clear by electing Kamala Harris this November."

Harris for President

Many loved the press release—and joined the Harris campaign in criticizing Vance.

The press release was a direct attack against Vance's record of opposition to reproductive rights and bodily autonomy across the nation.

As a Senator, Vance also voted against a bill to safeguard access to IVF, introduced legislation to criminalize doctors providing medically necessary healthcare to transgender youth, and pledged to support a national abortion ban.

Additionally, Vance has argued against allowing victims of rape and incest to access abortion care. He has pushed back against criticisms by arguing that the matter is "not whether a woman should be forced to bring a child to term, it’s whether a child should be allowed to live, even though the circumstances of that child’s birth are somehow inconvenient or a problem to the society."
