“If a Hollywood celebrity is saying oh JD Vance what if your daughter suffers fertility problems, well, first of all, that’s disgusting because my daughter is two years old and second of all if she had fertility problems as I said in the speech, I would try everything I could to help her because I believe families and babies are a good thing. That’s the whole point,” JD Vance said. He said his ‘childless cat ladies’ comment for Kamala Harris. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Pete Buttigieg were not targeted at people who can’t have children but people who are anti-child and anti-family. He said The Democratic party has become anti-family.
Jennifer Aniston reacted sharply to the row and and said it was unbelievable coming from a potential VP candidate. “All I can say is… Mr Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too,” the actor wrote leading a strong voice to the outrage against JD Vance.
Jennifer Aniston, in the past, spoke about her struggle while trying to conceive through IVF.
In 2021, at an interview on Fox News, JD Vance said the country was being run by a bunch of childless cat ladies who “are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”
“It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?” Vance said.
In June, Vance voted against a Democratic bill that sought to protect and expand access to fertility treatments like IVF, while signing onto a statement with his Republican colleagues that said they “strongly support continued nationwide access to IVF.”
