Former Vice President Mike Pence called for a national ban on abortion following the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision on Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 constitutional right to abortion.
‘Now that Roe v. Wade has been consigned to the ash heap of history, a new arena in the cause of life has emerged, and it is incumbent on all who cherish the sanctity of life to resolve that we will take the defense of the unborn and the support for women in crisis pregnancy centers to every state in America,’ Pence told Breitbart News.
As of June 24, the decision to immediately ban or limit abortion procedures will be decided by state lawmakers. Pence, who has been outspoken in his pro-life views, wants to further abortion restrictions, like in California, where lawmakers have promised to be a sanctuary state for those seeking abortions.
The Supreme Court voted 6-3 to overturn the 1973 constitutional right to abortion law, Roe v. Wade
Former Vice President Mike Pence, who is a pro-life advocate, praised the Supreme Court’s decision. With the right to access abortions now being left to the states to decide, Pence is calling for more restrictions
‘Having been given this second chance for Life, we must not rest and must not relent until the sanctity of life is restored to the center of American law in every state in the land,’ Pence said.
Following the Supreme Court decision, Pence released a three-minute video through his organization, Advancing American Freedom, praising the vote while highlighting his journey to fight abortion since elected into Congress in 2001.
Pence, who proposed the first bill to defund Planned Parenthood in 2007, has recently spent time visiting states with crisis pregnancy centers.
Pro-life and pro-choice advocates traveled to the country’s capital following the vote to voice their views
The Roe v. Wade landmark has permitted abortions up to the first two trimesters of pregnancy for 50 years.
There are 13 states that plan on banning abortions immediately: Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.
Meanwhile, states on the West Coast, namely California, Oregon and Washington, seek to create a road map referred to as the ‘West Coast Offensive,’ which would allow continuous access to abortions for in-state and out-of-state residents.
