Mike Pence Takes Strong Stance on Abortion Restrictions

Former Vice President Mike Pence has staked his pitch to voters on his unabashed "pro-life" stance, endorsing a nationwide ban on abortion at 15 weeks of gestation and supporting a challenge to the FDA's approval of mifepristone, the most widely used abortion pill in the country. Pence believes that Republicans need to stop running scared from the issue and embrace it head-on, and that the GOP should pair abortion restrictions with policies of "compassion." Despite consistently unpopular polling on abortion restrictions, Pence won't be reassessing his stance.
