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.

Gotta say... when it comes to slapping supporters in the face, Pence is an expert!
Trump claimed to be pro choice, so yes, his position has changed. I don’t get the impression he has a strongly held position either way, but looking for a position that helps him politically.
That’s true.
Phuck you quisling!
Pence is very familiar with slapping supporters in the face.
“that was what was determined by the SCOTUS - leave it to the states.”
Exactly. Thirty Pence’s opinion is irrelevant.
Quite simply “F*&$ YOU Mike Pence!!!!”
Is that the same Pence who turned a piece of religious liberty legislation into a homosexual rights legislation?
Excellent point.
Trump’s position is exactly Ronald Reagan’s position.
There is nothing the establishment won’t do… not a chance on gods green watch the establishment gop would even propose let alone pass an abortion ban, b it the guy who ended the unconstitutional row v Wade is a traitor for leaving it to the states…
Insanity
“I’m still smarting from the slap in the face he gave on J6.”
I’m still smarting from his collision with Fauci and Birx to sabotage Trump and fix an election.
“Pence wants ALL abortions banned.”
I don’t believe that. What 30 wants is exactly what his deep state handlers tell him he wants. He’s their meat puppet
There are federal laws against murder.
Enough Mikey!
You’ve already exposed yourself, now don’t embarrass yourself any further
Pence stepped on his own dick years ago and needs to hide.
Stop splitting hairs, of course there is for murder in Federal jurisdictions, or for murder of Federal officers and among other special circumstances. There is no national law against murder of each and every American citizen. Most of the time, murder is a state crime as it should be. Most of the special circumstances should not have been nationalized.
We saw the eclipse in OH. We noticed a bright spot in the corona at about 6 o’clock during totality. Does anyone know what this is?
