Democratic Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear on Tuesday suggested that Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance should experience a family member becoming pregnant through rape.
While being interviewed on MSNBC, Beshear spoke of Vance referring to a pregnancy due to rape as being “inconvenient” and then suggested “make him go through it.”
These people feign compassion and “joy” and then turn around and wish rape on JD Vance’s wife and family? This is not just a slip of the tongue from a Harris surrogate. It’s revealing of how these people think. It’s an evil thing to say and Andy Beshear should be ashamed of… https://t.co/jHsixzmmkX

Vance immediately pushed back, asking, “What the hell is this? Why is @AndyBeshearKY wishing that a member of my family would get raped?!? What a disgusting person.”
Beshear was likely referring to a 2021 interview during which Vance, who was then running for the U.S. Senate, said that society shouldn’t reflexively view pregnancies due to rape or incest as “inconvenient.”
At that time, Vance stated:
“My view on this has been very clear and I think the question betrays a certain presumption that is wrong. It’s 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. The question really, to me, is about the baby.”
Rape and incest are commonly cited as justification for abortion on demand, yet the vast majority of abortions have more to do with convenience.
A reminder than Rape and Incest are barely 1% of the reasons given for wanting an abortion.

Gov. Beshear’s remarks on the first night of the DNC in Chicago were primarily focused on abortion and reproductive rights.
Beshear also spoke of the “tolerance” of the Democratic Party, saying, “How we treat people transcends party lines. It goes right to the heart of who we are. I want anyone watching tonight — Republican, independent, Democrat — to know that you are welcome here.”
If wishing rape upon the families of his ideological opponents is what tolerance looks like, it would be interesting to see what Gov. Beshear is like when he’s being intolerant.
