Remarks by Vice President Pence at Concerned Women for Americas 40th Anniversary Celebration
Issued on: September 13, 2019
Trump International Hotel
Washington, D.C.
7:00 P.M. EDT
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, hello CWA! (Applause.) What a great night. It really is great to be here with all of you for the Concerned Women for America 40th Anniversary Gala. Getting started on the next 40 years of great conservative women leaders in America. (Applause.)
{snip}
This President promised to fight judicial activism and appoint conservative judges to our courts at every level. And with last nights confirmation of Steven Seeger, President Trump has already seen 150 federal judges confirmed to our courts. (Applause.)
And I promise you I promise you, theyre all men and women of integrity who will uphold all of the God-given liberties enshrined in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, like the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. (Applause.)
And moving these judges through, weve had the strong support of CWA. And let me just take this moment, on behalf of the President and myself and our entire administration, to say how profoundly grateful we are to Concerned Women for America that, just last fall, including many of you here tonight, took to Capitol Hill, took the phone lines, and took to the airwaves, and we confirmed Kavanaugh. (Applause.) Justice Brett Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court of the United States. (Applause.) Great job.
Im also proud to serve an administration that has stood so strongly for our first freedom the freedom of religion. And I promise you, this is an administration that will always defend the freedom of religion of every American of every faith. You know, back in 2016, the President promised, as he said, to, quote, defend your right to fully and freely practice your religion, as individuals, [as] business owners and [as] academic institutions. And thats exactly what weve done.
Weve taken action to protect the conscience rights of doctors and nurses. (Applause.) And after years of neglect, weve restored federal enforcement of our nations conscience laws. And we ended the last administrations assault on the Little Sisters of the Poor. (Applause.)
And in this White House, we believe the freedom of speech should not end at the front door of our places of worship. And thats why this President took action to end enforcement of the Johnson Amendment and free up the pulpits of America. (Applause.)
And as weve stood for liberty and the liberties of every American at a time when leading Democrats advocate late-term abortion and infanticide, I couldnt be more proud to serve as Vice President to a for a President who stands without apology for the sanctity of human life. (Applause.)
{snip}
And let me say, with so many in Washington standing for late-term abortion and even defending infanticide, Ill make you a promise. I see it in his eyes every time the topic comes up. This President, just like this movement, will always stand for the unalienable right to life. (Applause.)

I'm sure he can name the people in favor of infanticide. I don't see the words "gay" or "homosexual" in here.
