Pence would ban abortion in cases where pregnancy isn't viable

[enigmania]

Source: ABC

Former Vice President Mike Pence is making clear that his opposition to abortion extends beyond some of his most conservative 2024 White House rivals.

He told the Associated Press in an interview that he supports banning abortions in cases where the pregnancy isn't viable and the baby wouldn't survive outside the womb, as in the case of extreme fetal abnormalities.

Pence has jumped the shark!

[TreasonousBastard]

1. He's perfectly free to believe that--just not free to force it on anyone else.

[Blue Owl]

2. No wonder flies are attracted to his numb skull

He’s got a rotten little garbage dump inside his head

[BOSSHOG]

3. Spineless, shallow coward

The GOP race for the nomination: I can hate more people and ruin more lives then any of my competitors. To a roaring crowd of stupid people. If it weren’t for stupid people the Republican Party would not exist.

They care not of liberty and Justice for all.

[markie]

4. he's sick n/t

[raising2moredems]

6. Yes he is..

I can't explicitly post what he and others of his ilk need to have happen to them in order to fully experience a pregnancy gone wrong. But suffice it to say, every one of them would be begging and crying for it to stop after a very, very short amount of time. He and others of his ilk should be the ones billed and responsible for payment.

[Lonestarblue]

5. Pence claimed that tests wrre often wrong and women delivered perfectly healthy babies.

Pure delusion, just like all those right-wing claims that many women wait until the third trimester to have an abortion because they change their minds or that doctors deliver healthy babies and kill them because the mothers don’t want them. What a load of BS. Pence is going nowhere in the polls.

[Deuxcents]

7. Good thing he is going nowhere in the polls now or ever.

He should be thankful he was saved from a mob that wanted to hang him and go away and retire.

[Botany]

18. "Pence claimed that tests were often wrong ... "

Stethoscopes, ultrasounds, and doctors are often wrong? No they are not. Pence is such a piece of shit.

[Danascot]

37. When he does the tests with rattles and beads

the tests are often wrong. Shocking, no?

[CTyankee]

34. Did I miss something? Did Pence get a medical degree? From what medical school?

[Warpy]

8. Sluts must be punished!

Patriarchal religion is just beyond cruel.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Then he and 'Mother' should be forced to pay all medical ad burial expenses.

[LuckyLib]

10. Pretzel logic. Vintage Republicans.

[AZ8theist]

11. Who?

[Grokenstein]

12. "Won't someone PLEEEEEASE think of the non-viable fetuses?"

Wow, when you say it like that, it sounds insane.

[patphil]

13. Reproductive Slavery is a cornerstone of Republican Policy.

[SarcasticSatyr]

14. There's no hate like Christian love ....

but it's irrelevant, Pence is already toast, Democrats aren't voting for him, and 80% of the Repukes would still hang him if they got the chance.

[Ray Bruns]

21. That's what I keep saying. One article questioned wether Pence was listening to his aides.

I asked, “Mike Pence has aides?”

What delusional bastard is working for Mike Pence thinking he’s going anywhere?

[no_hypocrisy]

15. Leave No Zygote Behind . . . . .

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Senator Gary Peters' wife suffered from a pregnancy like that

They were expecting a much-wanted child, but something went wrong and the fetus was no longer viable. His wife got sicker and sicker and almost died because this was considered an abortion so no medical facility or physician would treat her. At the last minute they found someone who knew someone who was willing to perform the procedure and his wife survived. This is what Pence supports for women in this country, near-death or possibly death if they are carrying a non-viable fetus.

The senator went public with their experience to explain why he is pro-choice.

[bmichaelh]

17. Pro-Life is a misnomer

What a shameless hypocrite!

Let's not forget that the repeal of ACA failed in the Senate in 2017 by a vote of 49-51.

If just one Senator had voted the other way, Pence would have voted for the repeal.

Pro-Life is a misnomer.

[Novara]

19. Cruelty is the point

They seem to think that women will cower and succumb under their thumbs. Get back in the kitchen. Become broodmares. And they seem to think that will be OK with women.

They couldn't be more wrong.

But by all means, keep loudly proclaiming how anti-woman you are. Let's ensure Democrats win everywhere.

They thought women would forget about being shoved back to breeder status.

Again, they couldn't be more wrong. Poll after poll shows that women are just as fired up as when Dobbs was decided. Abortion - women's bodily autonomy - in an election issue and in some cases, it's the #1 election issue.

We will not forget.

[FailureToCommunicate]

20. He is a monster in the guise of a bland robot empty suit.

Like so many of his vintage.

[greymattermom]

22. Would he ban

cancer surgery?

[niyad]

23. May he, and his enablers, receive everything they deserve.

[lark]

24. Pence's position is if in doubt, kill the mom and let the baby die on it's own.

Always kill the mom, always let the women pay (even with their lives) for the sin of having sex with men who are not punished one little bit. If they really cared about life, both parties would be punished, but no, that's not what's happening. They hate women and punish us and the babies as well by not providing nothing once the babe is born and making the baby suffer so they can torture the mother longer. It's beyond belief what these fucking men are trying to do to the women of this country.

At 8 months pregnant, my mom's first baby was dying/dead. Mom was in Ok, and this was in 1940. They didn't make her wait until it was confirmed the baby couldn't be rescued, they immediataely gave her an abortion to save her life. She almost died with dad driving the 3 hours to the nearest hospital. Nowdays, she probably would die. My family has a bad history on both sides of bad miscarriages, so I am really fearful about what will happen if my daughter decides to try and have children.

This womman's rights issue is very personal to me!!!

[MayReasonRule]

25. Pence Is A Delusional Nat-C Fascist Disseminating Insidiously Pernicious Lies Of Old

Darwin can't reward him too quickly.

[NCjack]

26. Bold move to revive his dying campaign.

[WmChris]

27. Hateful stupid

Christian taliban Imposing his will on the lives of others,regardless of whose life it endangers. The mother could very easily be infected and turn septic

[Danmel]

28. This is unspeakably cruel

I have 2 friends who found out about 22 weeks into very wanted pregnancies that their babies had severe anomalies inconsistent with life. They were both devastated, but terminated the pregnancies.
One already had a daughter. She was not able to conceive again after the lost pregnancy.
The other had suffered multiple miscarriages before getting much further along when she found out the pregnancy was doomed.
She was subsequently able to have her son, who just graduated from high school.
I cannot even begin to fathom the level of callous inhumanity that would have forced them to carry doomed pregnancies for another 4 months.
You are not G-d Mike Pence. And you will never be president. In the meantime just shut the f**k up.

[calimary]

29. I guess he sees women as nothing but incubators with legs.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

30. K&R n/t

[Karma13612]

31. This will be a death sentence in many

Cases.

I dare a physician to stand up at a microphone at the next Republican rally with one of theses asses spewing this crap.

The MD should simply “do you realize the mother will become septic and die?”.

They don’t know JACK about medicine.

[pfitz59]

32. Evil mofo

punishing women and girls for his invisible sky wizard. Ass

[calimary]

33. I despise this self-appointed national moralist.

We should start using the title “Mullah” instead for “Mr.” or “former Vice President “.

[IcyPeas]

35. I'm so sick of men like him making the rules for what women can or can't do

IT'S NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS MIKE PENCE

Go back to working in a.m. radio you chickenshit wannabee

Fuck off

[diva77]

36. That guy sucks all the oxygen out of the room - too bad it's not CO2 instead -

- that would be useful....

[thenelm1]

38. Pence "jumped the shark" years ago... n/t

[LiberalFighter]

39. If a minority got his daughters pregnant would he still be against abortions?

[ShazzieB]

40. Color me unsurprised.

I'm too familiar with his shenanigans as Governor of Indiana to expect znything but the absolute worst from him when it comes to reproductive rights.

For those who don't know, he signed every anti-abortion bill that crossed his desk, including one that was so extreme that even some anti-choice Republicans opposed it. Among other things, the bill imposed a requirement that clinics cremate or bury the tissue from abortions or miscarriages rather than using the standard method of incineration for human medical waste.(In other words, the law required all tissue removed from the body during an abortion to be treated exactly the same way the remains of a deceased person would be treated.)

The bill has been through a series of courtroom challenges, and I'm not sure what it's status is at this time. The point is, he very cheerfully signed a very extreme anti-abortion bill as Governor of Indiana, which means that this latest claptrap is right in character for him.

41. So women with ectopic pregnancies just have to die? nt
