Former Vice President Mike Pence has taken a hard stance on abortion, saying that abortions should be banned even in cases of nonviable pregnancies. Pence is the only GOP presidential candidate to publicly support a national abortion ban at six weeks. Medical experts have criticized Pence’s pledge, noting that forcing women to carry nonviable pregnancies to term carries unnecessary health risks and can be psychologically traumatic for the women involved. Despite this, Pence has made restricting abortion rights a key part of his campaign platform. Pence currently has around 7% support among GOP candidates in presidential polls.
I’d say at least he only has 7% of the GOP vote, but the alternatives are so much worse. He’s pretty much their Biden, at this point. Hell, we don’t even know if he believes this garbage. The fact that so many people are beating the drums about things they don’t even believe, for the sake of winning over demographics, is truly terrifying.
