Wade<\/em> will be overturned, and he credits this projected pro-life victory to former President Donald Trump\u2019s Supreme Court appointments and the voice of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>During a Saturday morning interview with The Daily Wire ahead of his commencement speech at Patrick Henry College, Pence weighed in on the leaked draft opinion showing that the court is likely preparing to overturn\u00a0<i>Roe v. Wade.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The former vice president suggested that overturning <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> and returning the power to decide abortion back to the states would prompt Americans to take a closer look at who they elect on the state level.<\/p>\n<p>He referenced leftist hopes that increased focus on <em>Roe<\/em> would drive voters to the polls, noting that Democratic lawmakers wish to change the subject and distract from inflation, the crisis at the southern border, and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a very different thought,\u201d he said. \u201cI have a sense that should the Supreme Court overturn <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> and return the question of abortion to the states, there\u2019s going to be millions of Americans who take a harder look at who they are supporting and electing as governor and as their state legislators on the issues of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think in a very real sense, not only will the prospect of this decision potentially give us a new beginning for life in this country, which I think is the most important moral question in America today, but also I think it will revive a political debate at the state level,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Overturning <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> may \u201cset the stage for an incredible renewal of everything that\u2019s always made this country great at the state and federal level, in 2022, 2024 and beyond,\u201d Pence predicted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you will see, people around the country will be looking for women and men who are willing to stand with them on life, on religious liberty, on parental rights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Should the court overturn <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, Pence believes the credit should go \u201cfirst and foremost to the American people who supported a candidate and a ticket that were unapologetically pro-life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth President Trump and I spoke plainly in the campaign in 2016 about our commitment to the sanctity of life,\u201d he said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more proud to have been part of the most pro-life administration in American history. President Trump kept his word, appointed strict constructionists to the Supreme Court of the United States. And it should come as no surprise that three of the justices, out of the five, in the draft opinion, were appointed by our administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur record on life didn\u2019t stop at the Supreme Court,\u201d he noted. \u201cWe saw the appointment and confirmation of nearly 300 other conservative judges to our federal courts at every level. We reestablished the Mexico City policy that banned federal dollars from supporting organizations around the world that provide or promote abortion. We provided millions of dollars of support to crisis pregnancy centers around the country. As vice president, I was the first official at my level to ever visit a crisis pregnancy center while in office. And I was honored to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pence also noted that he cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate that allowed Trump to sign a bill allowing states to defund Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_379097\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-379097\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former Vice President Mike Pence discusses the potential that Roe v. Wade will be overturned with The Daily Wire\u2019s Mary Margaret Olohan at Patrick Henry College.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cOur record on the right to life was consistent,\u201d he said. \u201cPro-lifers around America, me included, couldn\u2019t be more grateful that President Donald Trump kept his word and appointed conservatives to our court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Roe v. Wade is overturned, it will be because of the appointments that President Trump made to the court and the willingness of the American people to support an administration and to support Republican leaders in the United States Senate who stood by the right to life,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Pence also called the leak of the draft Supreme Court opinion a \u201cdespicable act,\u201d saying, \u201cthose responsible need to be held to account.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I hope and pray that the draft opinion becomes adopted as the majority opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States and we send Roe v. Wade to the ash heap of history where it belongs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve long believed that that Roe v Wade was not only morally wrong, but but deeply legally flawed,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd even the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was a defender of abortion rights, found it difficult to defend on a legal basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pence\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pence-calls-on-biden-to-speak-out-forcefully-against-potential-violence-against-justices-disruptions-of-catholic-masses\">hope<\/a> is that \u201cthe\u00a0five justices will have the courage of their convictions\u201d and that the question of abortion will be returned to the states and \u201cthe American people where it belongs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOUDOUN \u2014 Former Vice President Mike Pence is confident that Roe v.
