North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), a leading vice presidential contender for former President Trump, said on Sunday he has “evolved” in his position on abortion access in the eight years since he suggested women were unsafe before Roe v. Wade.

The reaction by the pro death cult would be epic.
So he’s no longer a Christian? If he was ever?
Artificial contraception is a mortal sin — no evolution of moral philosophy there.
Agreed, boring choice that adds nothing.
