Pence and his successor, current Vice President Kamala Harris, are on different sides of the abortion matter - and both were requested to speak at fundraisers this past week.
Trump’s former No. 2 used the current Veep’s words against her while headlining an event at the Carolina Pregnancy Center in South Carolina - an “independent, faith-based nonprofit organization” whose mission is to “help women and families with pregnancy-related issues,”
“I say with the lives of 62 million unborn boys and girls ended in abortion since 1973, generations of mothers enduring heartbreaking and loss that can last a lifetime: Madame Vice President, how dare you?” On Tuesday, Harris spoke at a Washington gala for Emily’s List, an organization that attempts to elect pro-choice women to office.

At the gala, Harris denounced the Conservative justices after discovering that they were likely to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“Women in almost half the country could see their access to abortion severely limited,” if the draft opinion is adopted, Harris announced, stressing that in 13 states, “women would lose access to abortion immediately and outright.” “Those Republican leaders who are trying to weaponize the use of the law against women, well we say ‘How dare they? How dare they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body? How dare they?’”

“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Chief Justice John Roberts later confirmed the authenticity of the draft decision, yet it is not yet final until the court formally declares its choice in a case. That means the ruling could still be changed.

After the revelation, Liberal lawmakers vowed to fight the choice, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeting Monday night that Sen. Joe Manchin is preventing a vote on codifying abortion rights into law, while Sen. Bernie Sanders suggested ending the filibuster to get it passed.
And in the days since the decision was leaked, pro-abortion rights activists have taken to the streets from the steps of the Supreme Court to New York City, Nevada, Texas, and California to protest the draft decision.
