And I couldn&#8217;t be more proud\u2063 to have been a small part of the process in an administration that appointed three of the justices that sent Roe v.\u200b Wade to the ash heap of history and gave the question of abortion\u2062 back to the\u200b states and \u200bthe\u200d American people. And I&#8217;m going to continue to\u200b be a champion for advancing the sanctity of life in every state in this\u200c country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the \u200dneed for a national standard, Pence emphasized, &#8220;But I do believe that the time has also come for us to establish a minimum national standard \u2063of 15 weeks. I think creating\u200c a minimum national standard for after a child is able to feel pain in the womb is\u200c an idea whose time has come. Frankly, it&#8217;s supported by an overwhelming majority of the American people. And if I&#8217;m president of the United States, I will\u200c champion that \u200bin\u200d the Congress, even while we look\u2062 for even greater protections for \u200dthe unborn \u200din states across the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I&#8217;m \u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ProLife?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ProLife<\/a> and I \u200ddon&#8217;t apologize for it and I do believe the time has come for us to establish a minimum national standard of 15 weeks.
