Mike Pence's Aggressive Abortion Agenda

Former Vice President Mike Pence has staked his pitch to voters on his unabashed restrictionist stance on abortion, endorsing a nationwide ban on the medical procedure at 15 weeks of gestation and filing an amicus brief supporting a challenge to the FDA’s approval of mifepristone, the most widely used abortion pill. Pence has vowed to do “everything in my power” to reverse approval of mifepristone if elected. He believes that Republican candidates need to stop running scared from the issue and embrace it head on. Pence's stance on abortion is politically risky for the GOP, but he has a prescription to help Republicans embrace this issue.
