"Vance’s hardscrabble upbringing informs his compassionate approach to this issue. He saw firsthand how the deck can be stacked against women facing unexpected pregnancies if they do not have the support and resources they need, even though most would rather choose life. His ability to compellingly share these stories on a national stage will surely be an asset," she said.
Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote said his organization "will proudly help the Trump-Vance ticket win in November.
"Vance represents a vision for the country that we have long embraced – a vision that proudly prioritizes American workers, families, and children. A vision that proudly puts the needs and interests of Americans first, while pushing back against the secular, technocratic, and globalist agendas of our elitist corporate and political class that despise common people and our common moral and religious way of life," he said.

But Vance didn't get unanimous approval from the pro-life activist community. Lila Rose of Live Action posted a statement on X saying, "Both J.D. Vance and President Trump support the legalization of abortion pills. This is heartbreaking and wrong."

A Fox News poll in May revealed that the issue of abortion access was one of three "deal breaker" issues for voters in 2024, along with border security and the economy.
