On Sunday, Indiana Governor and Republican Vice Presidential nominee Mike Pence declared<\/a>, “I\u2019m pro-life, I don\u2019t apologize for it” in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace.<\/p>\n

Wallace asked Pence about the law he signed<\/a> banning abortions sought on the basis of genetic abnormalities, race, or sex; requiring ultrasounds before abortions and admitting privileges for abortionists; and mandating that aborted babies be either buried or cremated by abortion facilities. Abortion advocates have filed lawsuits against its ultrasound<\/a> and fetal abnormality provisions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As long as Roe v. Wade<\/em> is currently on the books, Wallace asked, “why does a state have the authority to limit the reasons a woman has to end her pregnancy?” Pence replied by noting that many countries’ abortion restrictions<\/a> are more in line with Indiana’s than the most expansive interpretation of the Roe<\/em> precedent, and that disabled children deserved society’s respect.<\/p>\n
