Former vice president Mike Pence revived his pitch for a nationwide ban on legal abortions during his first public remarks in the aftermath of the US Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe v Wade.
Without constitutional protections for the right to an abortion, “we have the opportunity to become a more perfect union,” Mr Pence said during a speech at Florence Baptist Temple in South Carolina on 20 July, nearly one month after the high court’s ruling.
