Former Vice President Mike Pence has publicly expressed his disappointment in Donald Trump's recent shift in stance on abortion, describing it as a 'retreat' from the pro-life cause. In a series of statements and a guest essay for the New York Times, Pence criticized Trump for considering abortion a state-only issue and for his reluctance to support a national abortion ban if elected in 2024. This shift, often referred to as Trump's abortion flip-flops, marks a significant departure from his previous pro-life position, sparking debates among conservatives and indicating a potential rift within the Republican Party. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has emphasized its view of abortion as a national priority.
