GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence on Thursday predicted that Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion, would be overturned if Donald Trump is elected president.
“I’m pro-life and I don’t apologize for it,” he said during a town hall meeting here. “We’ll see Roe vs. Wade consigned to the ash heap of history where it belongs.”

“Why would they say that? Are they trying to motivate the liberals? It’s not necessary. Great to plan for it. Stupid to announce it.”
I agree. It seems likely now that Trump will have to respond. It will be interesting to see how he does...
I am starting to wonder if Free Republic has been hijacked by insane millennials based on the sheer panic going on here.
Pence can say what he wants, but people have to understand that he is the VP nominee NOT the top of the ticket.
Liberals who hate Trump were not going to suddenly NOT vote for him because of what Pence said. They were not going to vote for him regardless.
What does Trump say? You don’t tell your adversaries what you are going to do. Listing the Supreme Court Justices isn’t enough. You have to put salt in the wound and motivate Hillary’s base to vote.
That is so opposite of brilliant.
When was the last time you really felt good about voting for a candidate for President?
This is my only one because in 1979, I didn’t have a clue.
Now, if you use just a couple of your brain cells you will understand why I fight rather than sit around wasting my time on useless POS like you.
So now I have to go back to work for the American people!
“You have to put salt in the wound and motivate Hillary’s base to vote.”
Uh, if you have not noticed, the whole point of the Trump campaign is to take a position and double down. This looks to be his strategy. Have Pence say and Trump will double down. Do you really think the “motivated” Hillary supporters matter?
It can be done by passing a law making it illegal and having the President sign it. The SCOTUS has to follow the law. Roe V Wade is unconstitutional.
For all- the Biblical consequence for a nation that legalizes Child Sacrifice is invasion and conquest. It is also unforgivable on that level (not the personal level).
“Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD WOULD NOT FORGIVE.” (All caps mine) 2 Kings 24:3 & 4
Make it illegal or the invasion that is ongoing will come to fruition.
Show me the documents you received from team Trump strategy session. If you don’t have it then you owe every person on FR an apology for trying to make us all look like idiots.
You have 24 hours.
Hate to tell you, but no matter who wins, that ain’t happening. In fact, if by some miracle either Pence or Cruz were put in the Oval Office, it still wouldn’t happen, any more than repealing the 18th Amendment will happen.
Now, maybe the punishments come, maybe they don’t, but either way, the reality is, it ain’t happening.
Doesn’t any stupid, STUPID republican know how to play this game?
How stupid can Pence be? What a jackass.
I’m against abortion, but you don’t go around bringing this up if you don’t have to; you don’t respond this way to provacative but irrelevent MSM questions.
Governor of Indiana? I’ll say it again: What a jackass.
+1
You’ve got it. I’m sick to my stomach right now. They are gonna crucify Trump over this. More time off message defending/walking this back
Pence just screwed us all.
For those who think this was a smart move, you’re NUTS!!!!!
Why have any laws? If the majority of people can be convinced to do good, why do we have laws? Why will the Son of God rule with a rod of iron? Do you think it’s because we know He is merciful and just or because even when He is ruling from Jerusalem, fallen people will still be evil and we need them?
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
The quote as shown leaves out the beginning of Pence’s sentence; it appears the word, “IF” was edited out.) Additionally a significant qualifier; the word “believe” was left out of the quotation.
While I wish Pence had been a little more artful in his reply, what he said was: “(IF) we appoint strict constructionists to the Supreme Court of the U.S.; as Donald Trump intends to do, I BELIEVE Roe vs. Wade will be consigned to the ash heap of history where it belongs.”
don’t be an ass, even if it’s not an issue I’m just asking cause I don’t trust anything from this news source
“A new Gallup poll finds a majority of Americans oppose all or most abortions even though some Americans who technically take a pro-life position opposing abortion wrongly think they are “pro-choice” on abortion.”
Gallup Poll: 55% of Americans Want All or Most Abortions Made Illegal
2015!
The left is going to sprinkle audience members into every q and a that is presented from here til the election for the express purpose of asking that one bomb, the one needed, to get 24/7 coverage of thick tongue non thinking off the cuff answer that will nuke the election.
Both Pence and Trump must have their brain in gear before working the tongue, on EVERY ANSWER TO EVERY QUESTION FROM NOW TIL NOV!
No exceptions whatsoever.
“• Less than 1% of all abortions take place because of rape and/or incest.”

Thank you for that reply. (I’m saving it)
Uh oh....
Because 54% of the population is very Pro-life and if pre-born genocide isn’t stopped, no wall will stop the invasion that is the Biblical consequence of child sacrifice.
God Bless Pence! Pray it is His will that America have a return to His good grace and delay the coming wrath.
