Pence has called for a minimum 15-week abortion ban at the federal level, a policy that goes further than some of the other 2024 candidates running for president, including his onetime boss, former President Donald Trump, who has refused to say he would support a federal abortion ban."Every Republican candidate for president should support a ban on abortion before 15 weeks as a minimum nationwide standard," Pence said.
Sen. Tim Scott previously tripped up when questioned about his abortion views as he runs for president. Trump called Gov. Ron DeSantis's six-week ban in Florida"too harsh." But he has simultaneously bragged that his nomination of three Supreme Court justices, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, paved the way for the high court to overturn Roe.
