Three months later, the chamber passed another bill by the Indiana congressman to end tax breaks for insurance providers that cover abortion.
Social conservatism has been a guiding light in the 15-year political career of Pence, now the governor of Indiana and a top contender to be the vice presidential pick of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump. He has labeled himself "a Christian, a conservative and a Republican-in that order."
