GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence on Thursday predicted that Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion, would be overturned if Donald Trump is elected president.

“I’m pro-life and I don’t apologize for it,” he said during a town hall meeting here. “We’ll see Roe vs. Wade consigned to the ash heap of history where it belongs.”

The comments — made in a conservative stronghold that strongly supported Texas Sen. Ted Cruz over Trump in the Michigan primary — were part of a broader argument Pence has been making on the stakes of the election: Voters need to consider that the next president will likely select multiple Supreme Court justices.

Freepers have a thread on this that is going 158 posts all negative They think Pence has just handed the election to Clinton by opening his big mouth and putting Roe-Wade on the table as an election issue

They say he should be vewwy vewwy quiet because Hilary will make it an issue if Pence doesn't shut his gobb

Freepland also is beginning to think Pence is a globalist liberal plant out to spoil Trump's victory

The stupid it burns like acid

1. lets make sure they dont have

to trouble their tiny brains and hands on these weighty issues.

2. An odd guy I know

Insists pence is a rino who wants to destroy trump. So I quess it's a thing. Apparently Trump is so pathetic his own vp pick can destroy him.

3. Then Pence doesn't want to win either

Perhaps this is a deliberately assisted political double murder-suicide, with hopes of the GOP rising from the ashes after getting killed this November.

4. Pence is doing a really good job of motivating voters...to vote for Hillary.

[merrily]

5. Put the date on your calendar as the date Pence lost the election for Trump.

Even if you feel that way, how dumb is it to say it?

[WheelWalker]

7. It's as dumb as a hemlock stump.

6. Then they would seek to reinstate Dred Scott...

" Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857), also known simply as the Dred Scott case, was a landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court held that "a negro, whose ancestors were imported into [the U.S.], and sold as slaves",[2][3] whether enslaved or free, could not be an American citizen and therefore had no standing to sue in federal court,[4][5] and that the federal government had no power to regulate slavery in the federal territories acquired after the creation of the United States. Dred Scott, an enslaved man of "the negro African race"[6] who had been taken by his owners to free states and territories, attempted to sue for his freedom. In a 7–2 decision written by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, the court denied Scott's request. The decision was only the second time that the Supreme Court had ruled an Act of Congress to be unconstitutional.[7]

8. Great comments! Thank you. n/t

9. Conservatives have been promising that for a long time,

but it's like Lucy with the football and Charlie Brown. They can't do it if they keep wanting to hold out the carrot on a stick for people to vote for them.

10. Wow, has it finally dawned on them that rabid antiabortionists are a liability?

Nah, they just don't want them to talk about it until they get into office.

[C Moon]

11. That's all the GOP has: playing from the same old deck of cards

[kevink077]

12. Keep talking Mike!!

At least this fool is honest in the GOPs intentions.

[greymattermom]

13. So it's a choice between overturning

Roe v Wade or Citizens United. A very clear CHOICE

[Grey Lemercier]

14. They think Pence has just handed the election to Clinton<<<< YES!

[wheniwasincongress]

15. Pence was required by Indiana law to resign as governor in order to run as VP

in other words, he's not a plant (unless he's really sacrificing himself)

[dembotoz]

16. no longer need to worry about my ira...trump wins and i will die in a prison

that pretty damn simple

[judesedit]

17. First of all Pence shouldn't have anything to do with it....he's a man. This is a women's issue

And if men would keep it in their pants until they know the person they are screwing this would not be an issue at all.

If the law forces women to have theses unwanted babies the men fathering them should have to support AND raise them.

[Monk06]

18. I agree men shouldn't have a say in abortion at all Shouldn't even be able to vote on it

If a woman can't control what goes in and comes out of her body then she is a slave. pure and simple

[Skittles]

19. LOL

Pence is pushing his own agenda, but Trump won't listen to him any more than he listens to anyone else

[olddad56]

20. the entire world will be overturned if Trump should win, or rig the election.

[spiderpig]

21. Mike, you & Don can have adjoining rooms at the funny farm

What century are you living in anyway?
