Former Vice President Mike Pence has taken a hard stance on abortion, saying that abortions should be banned even in cases of nonviable pregnancies. Pence is the only GOP presidential candidate to publicly support a national abortion ban at six weeks. Medical experts have criticized Pence’s pledge, noting that forcing women to carry nonviable pregnancies to term carries unnecessary health risks and can be psychologically traumatic for the women involved. Despite this, Pence has made restricting abortion rights a key part of his campaign platform. Pence currently has around 7% support among GOP candidates in presidential polls.
To a lot of evangelicals and conservative nutjobs? Quite literally it is.
This is why “alternative” medicine is so popular in their circles. Essentially anything spiritual or holistic instead of things based in science and reason. This is why essential oils and quackery is used in place of things like vaccines. People like him are the reason my s/o can’t get a D&C for her endo because it’s so fucking close to an abortion in their eyes.
I fucking hate it in this country.
