We’ve been saying it for the last twenty-four hours. Now Mike Pence has joined us.
Here is the former vice-president:
“The Trump-Pence administration was unapologetically pro-life for our four years in office. There are hundreds of decisions made at HHS every day that either lead our nation toward a respect for life or away from it, and HHS under our administration always stood for life.
I believe the nomination of RFK Jr. to serve as Secretary of HHS is an abrupt departure from the pro-life record of our administration and should be deeply concerning to millions of Pro-Life Americans who have supported the Republican Party and our nominees for decades.
For the majority of his career, RFK Jr. has defended abortion on demand during all nine months of pregnancy, supports overturning the Dobbs decision and has called for legislation to codify Roe v Wade. If confirmed, RFK, Jr. would be the most pro-abortion Republican appointed secretary of HHS in modern history.
The pro-life movement has always looked to the Republican party to stand for life, to affirm an unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed.
On behalf of tens of millions of pro-life Americans, I respectfully urge Senate Republicans to reject this nomination and give the American people a leader who will respect the sanctity of life as secretary of Health and Human Services.”
Hey Lance, is God still good?:
How about you, Charlie?
Eric? Any thoughts?
How much credibility does Mike Pence have with the pro-life movement anymore? I suspect he burned that bridge when he refused to obey Trump’s directions in January 2021.
All these politicians can talk ideology as much as they want to, but the stance of DJT is the States will determine the abortion guidelines, not RK Jr.
All the years of RvsW and 63 million baby deaths, Pence and the huffing-puffing Republicans didn’t curtail the slaughter.
Pence is to be respected, but RK Jr. will stay in his lane and not affect the States decisions.
