Former Vice President Mike Pence sharply criticized former President Donald Trump for saying that abortion policy should be left to the states and declining to back a national abortion restriction.
“President Trump’s retreat on the Right to Life is a slap in the face to the millions of pro-life Americans who voted for him in 2016 and 2020,” Pence said on X. “However much our Republican nominee or other candidates seek to marginalize the cause of life, I know pro-life Americans will never relent until we see the sanctity of life restored to the center of American law in every state in this country.”
Trump said on Truth Social on Monday that the states should have the ultimate jurisdiction over abortion policy. This statement came only weeks after hinting that he would support a 15- or 16-week gestational age limit on abortion at the federal level.
Trump’s post reads: “My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land… Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be.”
Pence expressed regret that many Republican politicians are hesitant to firmly advocate for Pro-Life policies, particularly at the national level, tweeting:
President Trump’s retreat on the Right to Life is a slap in the face to the millions of pro-life Americans who voted for him in 2016 and 2020.

Wade to the ash heap of history where it belongs and gave the pro-life movement the opportunity to compassionately support women and unborn children. In the landmark Dobbs decision, the Supreme Court returned the question of abortion to the states and the American people. The American people elect presidents, senators and congressmen, and a majority of Americans long to see minimum national protections for the unborn in federal law. But today, too many Republican politicians are all too ready to wash their hands of the battle for life. Republicans win on life when we speak the truth boldly and stand on the principle that we all know to be true – human life begins at conception and should be defended from womb to tomb. However much our Republican nominee or other candidates seek to marginalize the cause of life, I know pro-life Americans will never relent until we see the sanctity of life restored to the center of American law in every state in this country.
