JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, has reiterated his controversial views on Americans choosing not to have children, particularly in relation to climate change. In a recent interview with The New York Times, he characterized such decisions as 'deranged' and 'sociopathic', claiming that the U.S. has become 'pathologically anti-child'. Vance admitted that his earlier remarks, including referring to 'childless cat ladies', were 'dumb', but he maintained that they illustrated a troubling societal trend. He clarified that he was not criticizing those unable to have children for medical reasons, but rather those who choose not to due to climate fears. The Ohio senator's comments have drawn backlash as he navigates the political landscape leading up to the election. His stance reflects ongoing debates about family planning and environmental concerns.
