Jennifer Aniston hits out at JD Vance for 'childless cat lady' comments

Jennifer Aniston has criticized JD Vance, Donald Trump's vice presidential candidate, for calling women without children "cat ladies".

The actor posted a video from a recent Fox News interview with Mr Vance on her Instagram story. In the clip, he mentioned that the country is being controlled by women who don't have children and are not happy with their own lives. He suggested that these women are trying to make everyone else unhappy as well.

He mentioned vice president Kamala Harris, US representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg, and then said: "The Democrats' future is in the hands of individuals who do not have children. It doesn't seem logical to entrust our country to those who may not have a personal investment in it."

The writer hopes that Mr. Vance's daughter will be able to have children on her own someday without resorting to IVF as a backup plan. They feel that Mr. Vance is trying to deprive her of that option.

Mr. Vance, aged 39, was among 46 Senate Republicans who voted against the Right to IVF Act in June. The proposed bill aimed to establish access to IVF treatment as a federal right.

In 2022, Aniston shared with Allure magazine that she had tried IVF to start a family in her 30s and 40s, but unfortunately, she did not become pregnant.

"All the endless years of wondering... It was extremely difficult. I was undergoing IVF, trying Chinese teas, and attempting every possible solution. I was giving my all to it," she stated.

"I wish someone had advised me to freeze my eggs. It never crossed my mind. Now I regret not doing it. It's too late now."

She mentioned that she has no regrets and feel relieved that she doesn't have to ponder on certain decisions anymore.
