Pence: 'I do' still want Roe v. Wade to be overturned

Pence: I do still want Roe v. Wade overturned 02:08

Washington (CNN)Vice President Mike Pence said Tuesday that he still wants Roe v. Wade to be overturned, but declined to say if President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will comply with the campaign promise to do away with the landmark ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.

Kavanaugh has not expressed outright opposition to Roe v. Wade, but abortion rights activists are alarmed that it could be on the chopping block if he is confirmed. During the 2016 campaign, Pence said that he hoped to see the ruling end up on "the ash heap of history," while Trump predicted that Roe v. Wade would be overturned "automatically" if he appointed anti-abortion-rights justices to the court.

"I stand for the sanctity of life. This administration, this President are pro-life, but what the American people ought to know is that, as the President said today, this is not an issue he discussed with Judge Kavanaugh, I didn't discuss it with him either," Pence said in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash that aired on "The Situation Room" when he was asked if he would be disappointed if Kavanaugh is given an opportunity to overturn Roe and does not.

When Bash asked Pence if he still wants to see Roe v. Wade overturned, the vice president responded, "I do, but I haven't been nominated to the Supreme Court." ...................................

died or will not survive its own birth or in cases in which if the pregnancy proceeds, the mother will die.

Many who are opposed to abortion think that all abortions are a matter of choosing to end a life. Not all of them are. Some are a matter of choosing to save a life. Where does Pence stand on that choice?

And is it fair to invade the privacy of a woman seeking an abortion in order to force her to prove that the abortion is to save rather than to destroy life?

Why should a woman be required to answer that question?

Men never, ever fact this choice: my life or that of the fetus. Why should women be prohibited from making the choice?

It's the law for 45 years. You don't want it overturned bc of Jesus...you want it overturned bc it's been a monkey on all your's backs, bc we wouldn't give in to narrow minds. It's just about winning the argument. Rich folks get abortions from their GP, or they go for a plane ride.

You don't give a fuck about life.

You don't give a fuck if children are in cages.

You don't give a fuck if children have food to eat.

You don't give a fuck if children have a roof over their heads.

You don't give a fuck if children have medical care.

You don't give a fuck if parents have affordable child care.

You don't give a fuck if parents are paid a decent wage.

You don't give a fuck if children get a decent education.


You have a fetish for fetuses.

That is all you care about.

Fuck You, you sicken me you fraud !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can also tell you when you have to.

the father of the child should be the primary caregiver if the woman so chooses.

Many a teenaged girl's education and opportunities in life pretty much end when she becomes a single mother.

The father of every child in this country that is born to an unwed mother, regardless of his age, should be identified with DNA evidence if necessary. That father should share the difficult fate of the single mother economically and in every other way.

Fair is fair.

He doesn't understand what a fallopian tube pregnancy can do.

He doesn't get that having control over one's reproduction can be the difference between abject poverty and having a comfortable life.
