Gov. Andy Beshear Faces Backlash Over Comments on JD Vance and Abortion

Beshear's remarks on abortion and empathy spark intense criticism from Vance and Republicans

Andy Beshear suggested JD Vance might understand abortion issues better if he experienced a similar ordeal.
Vance and his campaign condemned Beshear's comments as vile and disgusting.
Beshear clarified he did not wish harm on anyone, accusing Vance of deflecting from his abortion stance.
The controversy centers around Vance's 2021 comments on pregnancies resulting from rape being 'inconvenient.'
Both politicians have used the incident to criticize each other's empathy and positions on abortion.
