Mike Pence said choosing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a departure from what he framed as the Trump-Pence administration's general opposition to abortion access.

Summary

Mike Pence opposed Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of HHS, citing Kennedy’s support for abortion access as a sharp departure from the Trump-Pence administration’s pro-life stance.

Pence urged Senate Republicans to reject Kennedy’s nomination, claiming Kennedy supports “abortion on demand” and restoring Roe v. Wade.

Both pro-life and abortion rights groups criticized Kennedy’s appointment, with pro-life leaders expressing concerns about his past positions and abortion rights advocates calling him unfit.

      But I thought we were trying to not let that shitshow evolve into a full scale war.
