Pence Says Supreme Court Should 'Overturn Roe V. Wade and Restore the Sanctity of Human Life'

Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will take up the case of a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks weeks. When it does, former Vice President Mike Pence is someone who hopes the nation’s highest court will use the opportunity to reverse Roe v. Wade and protect unborn children.

In new comments, Pence calls the infamous 1973 decision that allowed abortions up to birth “misguided,” but says SCOTUS can “make history” and reverse it.

“We are asking the Court, in no uncertain terms, to make history,” Pence is planning to say during remarks at the National Press Club Tuesday, according to prepared remarks obtained by The Hill. “We are asking the Supreme Court of the United States to overturn Roe v. Wade and restore the sanctity of human life to the center of American law.”
