Pence argues Trump betrayed GOP with aversion to national abortion ban

Former Vice President Mike Pence argued that his ex-boss, former President Trump, has betrayed the Republican Party with an aversion to signing a national abortion ban if elected in 2024.

Pence said his proudest accomplishment while serving as Trump’s VP was the overturning of Roe v. Wade, adding that it is now “disheartening” for him to see the former president “retreat from the pro-life cause.”

“Like so many other advocates for life, I was deeply disappointed when Mr. Trump stated that he considered abortion to be a state-only issue and would not sign a bill prohibiting late-term abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, even if it came to his desk,” Pence wrote in an op-ed published Saturday in The New York Times.

“No,” Trump said when asked by reporters two weeks ago in Georgia if he would sign a national abortion ban if it passed Congress and came to his desk if he’s reelected.

1. It's almost like Pence is trying to make people think Trump actually meant that.

8. Pence, you should read GALILEO AND THE SCIENCE DENIERS.

Not that it would make any difference.

9. Is Mikey really that dumb?

Mikey is either really dumb, or he's subtly trying to sabotage TFG. If, gawd forbid, TFG is elected, our democracy will swiftly be executed. No more worries about future free and fair elections; those will be history. TFG won't have to worry about any promises he made before the election. His only big decision will be choosing which of his spawn will replace him as permanent dictator.

Trump doesn't care about abortion, not really. But the delicious idea of viciously punishing and subjugating women would surely be enough reason for him to sign a total ban. For now, he says anything he thinks he has to. Mikey should know all this already. That's why I wonder if there isn't an element of sabotage in his op-ed. Then again, religious zealots do tend to be that dumb.

10. "I had no issues with your followers wanting to HANG me"....

11. Hey,mflyboy, you were NOT IN office in 2022 when the religious extremes

on scrotus overturned Roe. WE REMEMBER!!!

12. Buthe was in office when Trump appointed Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, and Tweedle Handmaid to the Supreme Court.

My reading is that he thinks of their striking down Roe as his accomplishment, just like Trump did (until he realized a lot of voters don't see it as something to be proud that.

I think Pence really means what he said about his disappointment in Trump. When he was governor of Indians, he was known for his very extreme pro forced birth stance. I'm pretty sure he'd be in favor of a nationwide "no abortions for anyone, at any time, ever" abortion ban.
