Vice Presidency candidate - Jennifer Aniston reacts angrily to Vance's comment on childless women
Jennifer Aniston is one of the most famous and popular Hollywood actresses. Yet, there have always been headlines about her that had nothing to do with her film projects but rather with her childlessness. Speculations about a possible baby bump joined the rumors about her desire for children. Why doesn't a woman like Aniston have children? The undertone of many reports about the "Friends" star suggested that she had focused too much on her career. A successful woman supposedly doesn't want children.
Jennifer Aniston responds to disrespectful comment from J.D. Vance
Just like that, Donald Trump's vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance recently commented on Kamala Harris in a disrespectful way. Harris and other Democrats he labeled a "bunch of childless cat women who feel miserable in their own lives and with the decisions they've made." But that wasn't enough for him: "That's why they want to make the rest of the country miserable too," so Vance. Such a disrespectful and discriminatory comment that Aniston was forced to respond directly on Instagram.
"I really can't believe that this comes from a potential Vice President of the United States," Aniston wrote on Instagram. Directly to Vance, she said: "Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter has the luck one day to become a mother herself. I hope she won't have to resort to IVF [In Vitro Fertilization, Anm. from the Red] as a second option. Because they're taking that away from her too." Words influenced by Aniston's own experiences with the topic.
Aniston spoke recently about the effects of the countless tabloid stories in an interview with "The Hollywood Reporter." She had taken the headlines about her childlessness personally for a long time. She thought that those who speculated about her and her body didn't really know what was behind it.
"Childless cat women"
In an interview with "Allure" in 2022, Aniston revealed that she had tried to become a mother through IVF. "All those years and years and years of speculation... It was really hard. I underwent artificial insemination, drank Chinese teas, whatever," so the "Friends" actress at the time. "I did everything for it. I would have given anything if someone had told me: 'Freeze your eggs. Do it for yourself.' People don't think about it. Here I am today. The ship has sailed," she said.
The topic of In Vitro Fertilization is one of the most important in Trump's campaign. As early as June, J.D. Vance opposed the "Right to IVF Act," a regulation that ensures accessibility and affordability of IVF. For people with a desire for children, it would be a significant blow if the Trump administration came to power.
Vance should not have endeared himself to Aniston with his discriminatory comment. Already, "childless cat ladies" are rallying behind Kamala Harris. And Harris' reach should not be underestimated by the politician. On Instagram, 44.9 million people follow the actress.

J.D. Vance's comments about Kamala Harris being a "bunch of childless cat women" might have resonated with Donald Trump's views, as he also opposes the "Right to IVF Act." This regulation could significantly impact people who desire children and seek affordable In Vitro Fertilization services.
In response to Vance's disrespectful comment, Jennifer Aniston, who has openly discussed her own struggle with childlessness and IVF, highlighted the need for compassion and understanding toward women who choose to focus on their careers and seek alternative methods to become mothers.
