“Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday challenged the entire 2024 Republican presidential field to support a national abortion ban at 15 weeks, demanding that the party go farther than its primary front-runner, former President Donald Trump, has so far been willing to go,” the New York Times reports.
Said Pence: “Every Republican candidate for president should support a ban on abortion before 15 weeks as a minimum nationwide standard.”
