I can’t say I disagree. It’s still better than Biden’s position, but it is far from pro-life.
1. The underlying argument against Roe v. Wade by the “pro life” side was that abortion is NOT a Federal issue but should be addressed by the states. Pence comes across as a duplicitous moron when he makes a statement like this that UNDERMINES the successful legal argument that won the day in the U.S. Supreme Court.
2. A Federal abortion ban may very well be overturned in a 9-0 decision in the current Supreme Court that includes six justices who overturned Roe. See Item #3 below.
3. Except in rare cases, murder charges are adjudicated in state courts … because they involve violations of STATE criminal codes. I’d like Mike Pence to explain with a straight face why there should be a Federal statute to outlaw abortion when there is no Federal statute to outlaw the murder of a random school-age child anywhere in the U.S.
