For an hour on Wednesday, Vice President J.D. Vance took questions from students at the University of Mississippi at a Turning Point USA event, taking the place of his murdered friend Charlie Kirk. He answered questions about Christianity, his personal faith, and abortion--and referred to abortion as "child sacrifice" that leads to the mistreatment of women.
"I make no apologies for believing that Christianity is a pathway to God," Vance told one student who was concerned about prayer in public schools. "I make no apologies for thinking that Christian values are an important foundation of this country, but I'm not going to force you to believe in anything, because that's not what God wants, and that's not what I want."
The question on abortion came from a young woman serving as president of Ole Miss Rebels for Life, the campus pro-life group; the name triggered a heartwarming cheer from the gathered crowd and a smile from the vice president.
