The former Vice President’s comments come just days after a draft court opinion overturning the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade leaked out of the Supreme Court.
“I honestly believe that there is no more important issue in the nation's life than the sanctity of life,” Pence said. “And so for me, that’s where this debate lies,” Pence said.

I hope and pray the draft opinion becomes the published majority opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States and that those five justices have the courage of their convictions to send Roe v.
