EXCLUSIVE Ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs on June 24, Mike_Pence spoke with the Washington Examiner about the state of abortion policy in the post-Roe era.
Ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization on June 24, which overturned landmark abortion decisions in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Pence spoke exclusively with the Washington Examiner about the state of abortion policy in the post-Roe era.
Asked about former President Donald Trump's claim of being the"most pro-life president" and taking credit for the decision in Dobbs, his former vice president said,"The Trump-Pence administration was the most pro-life administration in American history." When it comes to exceptions for instances of rape, incest, or a danger to the life of the mother, Pence pointed to his record as a congressman from 2001-2013."I consistently supported the Hyde Amendment, which prohibited taxpayer funding going to abortion with the exception of rape, incest, and life of the mother. So, I have a long history of supporting those exceptions and would give them every consideration in national legislation in the future.
"I think, when you look at the midterm elections, our candidates who stood with principle and compassion on the right to life and focused on the whole range of issues facing the American people today did quite well, including in very competitive races around the country," he said, rejecting the premise that pro-abortion independents were the reason for GOP losses.
