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.

Abortion Restrictions and Dobbs Decision Worsen Women's Health, Say OB-GYNs

A survey of OBGYNs conducted by KFF reveals that the effects of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling have had an overwhelmingly negative effect on maternal health care, including maternal mortality and how pregnancy-related medical emergencies are managed. The survey also found that the ruling has led to a rise in requests for sterilization and has made the jobs of OBGYNs more difficult and legally perilous. Abortion access has fallen in many states, leading to an increase in demand for contraception, particularly long-lasting solutions. The Dobbs ruling has also made it harder to attract new OBGYNs to the field.
