TL;DR Summary

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, has made misleading claims on the campaign trail. He falsely compared U.S. abortion laws to those of North Korea, China, and Iran, ignoring the nuances of European abortion laws. Pence also exaggerated Joe Biden's and Donald Trump's positions on fiscal policy, claiming they both support insolvency, when in reality Biden has proposed tax increases to address Social Security and Medicare shortfalls. Additionally, Pence exaggerated the differences in the handling of classified documents by the Justice Department in his and Biden's cases. Lastly, Pence falsely claimed that Biden has been cutting military spending, when in fact, Biden's budgets have requested increased funding for the military.
