(Christian Headlines) The U.S. Supreme Court is facing a landmark opportunity to right the “historic wrong” of Roe v. Wade when it issues a decision in the much-publicized case involving Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, former Vice President Mike Pence said Tuesday.
“Previously, the court has justified abortion on the grounds that it was essential to the stability of American society,” Pence said in remarks at the National Press Club in Washington. “But the truth is nothing has been more destabilizing in our society for the last 50 years than legalized abortion on demand.”
Pence delivered his speech one day before the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case challenging the Mississippi law, which prohibits abortion after the 15th week of a woman’s term except in cases of medical emergencies and fetal abnormality. An opinion is expected next year.
