Republican Party Pence on abortion

  • During a town hall in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in July 2016, Mike Pence said, “I’m pro-life and I don’t apologize for it. We’ll see Roe vs. Wade consigned to the ash heap of history where it belongs,” should Trump win the election.[1]
  • In 2007, 2009, and 2011, Pence introduced legislation that proposed prohibiting "the Secretary of Health and Human Service (HHS) from providing any federal family planning assistance to an entity unless the entity certifies that, during the period of such assistance, the entity will not perform, and will not provide any funds to any other entity that performs, an abortion." The legislation excluded abortions where the pregnancy was the result of rape, incest, or danger to the mother.[2][3][4]
  • In February 2011, Pence said, "If Planned Parenthood wants to be involved in providing counseling services and HIV testing, they ought not be in the business of providing abortions. As long as they aspire to do that, I’ll be after them."[5]
  • In November 2009, Pence voted in favor of an amendment seeking to prohibit "federal funds for abortion services in the public option" and "individuals who receive affordability credits from purchasing a plan that provides elective abortions."[6]
