JD Vance now says it's 'deranged' for women not to have children due to climate change
While Vance admitted that his ‘childless cat ladies’ remarks were ‘dumb’, he went on to stand by his argument, claiming that the US has become ‘almost pathologically anti-child’ and that not having children due to concerns about climate change is ‘bizarre’

“What I was definitely trying to illustrate ultimately in a very inarticulate way is that I do think that our country has become almost pathologically anti-child,” he said.
Vance went on to call this so-called “pathological frustration with children” “very dark” and suggested it is “sociopathic” to consider climate change when deciding whether or not to have children.

During the VP debate, Vance had falsely claimed that he “never supported a national abortion ban” but instead supported “some minimum national standard.”
This was untrue. In 2022, when he was running for the Senate, Vance told the Very Fine People podcast he “certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.” He also supported a proposal to impose a national ban on abortion at 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Vance doesn't know what sociopathic means, not to mention the truth.
