Pence calls Trump’s abortion stance a ‘slap in the face’ to supporters
The Hill ^ | 04/08/2024 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Former Vice President Mike Pence blasted former President Trump on Monday for embracing the position that abortion policy should be determined by states and avoiding taking a stance on whether the federal government should enforce a national ban at a certain cutoff point.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Pence — who was Trump’s running mate in 2016 and 2020 —said Trump’s newly announced position on abortion was a “slap in the face” to opponents of abortion rights who voted for their ticket.

“President Trump’s retreat on the Right to Life is a slap in the face to the millions of pro-life Americans who voted for him in 2016 and 2020,” Pence wrote in his post, before praising the steps their administration took to further the anti-abortion effort.

“By nominating and standing by the confirmation of conservative justices, the Trump-Pence Administration helped send Roe v. Wade to the ash heap of history where it belongs and gave the pro-life movement the opportunity to compassionately support women and unborn children. In the landmark Dobbs decision, the Supreme Court returned the question of abortion to the states and the American people,” Pence wrote.

Shut up, Pence. President Trump is merely going along with the Constitution, something you know nothing about.

No surprise. Pence fails the Constitution test again... First, abrogating his duty to be both a check and a balance on a fraudulent election... Now this...

Art 1 Sec 8 doesn’t include regulating abortion. Leave it to the States to regulate how much murder they will allow.

Trump was smart to take a stand here. If he doesn’t take a stand, his position will be defined by his opposition.

All SCOTUS did was to follow the constitution and let the states decide.
At least Trump respects the constitution; I don’t think Pence does.
Abortion is wrong but the president can’t legally issue an executive order to ban it.

Says that man who punched the supporters in the gut, and many of those supporters are now political prisoner's.

He's a true cuck.

Talk about shit for brains!

Pence is simply outing himself as a coward and a pussy. He’s advocating for “Anyone but Trump”.

Now it seems so clear why he was foist upon President Trump once upon a long time ago.

In the landmark Dobbs decision, the Supreme Court returned the question of abortion to the states and the American people,” Pence wrote.

And President Trump is rightfully leaving it there.

“Pense is a slap in the face to Trump supporters.”

Pence is a slap in the face of a number of things. Trump and the things he joined Trump to support in 2016 - 2020. Constitutional law as determined by the proper interpretation of the Constitution with Roe. States rights in their legal rights to determine the abortion policy no longer overrun by the federal government and supported by Trump for the states.

And he is trying to put a topic into the election process that has nothing to do with the president or any other federal employed person to devert voters minds using emotion rather than lawful facts. SWAMP! Somebody needs to call him on this. But who has the guts to go public. Certainly not the people that were voted in by a conservative base. Cowards.

Once again he proves he’s clueless. And once again he proves that he tries to be relevant in the swamp.

It should have always been the States that made the decision on abortion. The Federal Government/Supreme Court had no right to make that decision for them.

Jerks . They got what they wanted - the end of Roe.

So why are they whining?

Roe just said okay in the first trimester but after that it was up to the state. That is 12 weeks.

So what’s with the 15 week whine now?

Fake Republicans like Pence and Graham are as crazy and delusional as any on the left.

If abortion is actually murder, why would it be acceptable for some states to allow murder? The moral high ground is lost with this compromise.

Pence wants ALL abortions banned.

That’s an extreme position.

Fake Christians and the phoney grifters now bashing Trump. That’s fresh. Trump’s position has never changed. He did what he could to get the fight to the state level. Only revival and turning to God can change these women’s hearts.
