Almost immediately after Republican-appointed justices on the Supreme Court overturned, former Vice President Mike Pence issued a celebratory statement. This surprised no one: The Indiana Republican has long been a far-right crusader in the culture wars, so it stood to reason that he’d cheer the ruling in, the former vice president — and likely national contender in the coming years — didn’t just applaud the developments. Pence also looked ahead to the next goal.
Mr. Pence ... called on abortion opponents to continue their work to ban abortion access in all states. “Having been given this second chance for Life, we must not rest and must not relent until the sanctity of life is restored to the center of American law in every state in the land,” he said. At a Capitol Hill press conference on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared, “Republicans are plotting a nationwide abortion ban.” This wasn’t hyperbole.
