Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized former President Donald Trump on Monday for adopting the stance that abortion policy should be left to individual states and for refraining from expressing a clear position on whether the federal government should enforce a nationwide ban after a specific gestational period.
In a message posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Pence, who served as Trump's running mate in both the 2016 and 2020 elections, characterized Trump's recent stance on abortion as a "slap in the face" to the millions of pro-life Americans who voted for him in 2016 and 2020.
