Former Vice President Mike Pence has taken a hard stance on abortion, saying that abortions should be banned even in cases of nonviable pregnancies. Pence is the only GOP presidential candidate to publicly support a national abortion ban at six weeks. Medical experts have criticized Pence’s pledge, noting that forcing women to carry nonviable pregnancies to term carries unnecessary health risks and can be psychologically traumatic for the women involved. Despite this, Pence has made restricting abortion rights a key part of his campaign platform. Pence currently has around 7% support among GOP candidates in presidential polls.

      This kinda shit has been their goal ever since RvW happened. This is the result of literal decades of work, and us getting tired, or expecting massive change over one or two election cycles and then losing interest because it didn’t happen fast enough, is why these psychos have made as much progress as they have. Unwavering, dogged zeal towards their goals.

      We need to be the same.
