Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday called on his rivals for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination to pledge their support for a minimum 15-week federal ban on abortion.
Speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” conference in Washington, D.C., Mr. Pence said the overturning of Roe v. Wade is just the beginning of the fight for life.
Mr. Pence is leaning on the issue of abortion as a way to distance himself from former President Donald Trump and some of his other rivals in the Republican nomination race. Mr. Pence said the anniversary of overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that established a constitutional right to abortion is a chance to “remember the battle for life is far from over.”
“Some have even gone on to blame the overturning of Roe v. Wade for election losses in 2022,” Mr. Pence said, taking a jab at Mr. Trump. “But let me say from my heart the cause of life is the calling of our time, and we must not rest and must not relent until we restore the sanctity of life to the center of American law in every state in this country.”
