From Mike Pence's Mouth To God's (And John Roberts') Ears

On Saturday, former Vice President Mike Pence Saturday showed confidence the Supreme Court will overturn Roe. v. Wade — thanks to the newest Conservative justices — and pressed anti-abortion activists to prepare for action once the judgment comes down.

Pence had a hunch that the Supreme Court would act to dismantle the landmark abortion case, adding the "next battlefield for life will emerge" in the state legislatures.

"Your generation must lead and fight for life in every state across this land," Pence announced Saturday at the National Pro-life Summit in Washington, D.C., where many students and grassroots activists had assembled.

"With a real prospect of a post-Roe America before us, I urge you to prepare your minds for action," Pence went on.

Pence made his remarks on the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade Supreme Court judgment that legalized abortion. Buoyed by the addition of three new Conservatives on the court – justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett – and a major abortion case before the justices, anti-abortion activists are promising the Roe court decision will not live to see its 50th anniversary.

If the court overturns the long-standing abortion precedent in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey – two landmark cases that prevent state governments from banning abortions at specific points throughout the pregnancy – then abortion conclusions would be left to the states. Several red states, for instance, have already passed "trigger laws" designed to immediately restrict abortion once the Supreme Court overturns Roe.

In the meantime, blue and purple states would probably face renewed political pressure on keeping less restrictive laws.

With all this at stake, energized anti-abortion activists flocked to Washington this week for the annual March for Life on Friday and the summit on Saturday. Pence reiterated the rallying cry, stating, "Roe must go!"

Throughout his address, Pence explained that the Trump Administration was the "most pro-life Administration in the history of the United States" and touted former President Trump's appointment of more than 300 Conservatives to federal courts, including Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett.

"Pray that the Conservatives on our Supreme Court will have the courage of their convictions," Pence stated.

The former Vice President and Indiana GOP governor thanked activists for working hard to end abortion and explained he now thinks the Supreme Court is on their side.

"The pro-life generation has never been stronger. And, thanks to all of you, life is winning in America again," Pence announced. "And never doubt the American people are on our side. I believe the majority of the highest court in the land is on our side as well."

Support for toppling Roe v. Wade is at a new high, according to a Fox News poll of registered voters released Friday, yet twice as many voters still want it to stand.
