Pence, who is speculated to enter the 2024 primary race for the Republican presidential nomination, said,"I fully support efforts to take the abortion pill off the market," in a new interview."It's caused great harm for women across the country," he claimed.
The Indiana Republican has yet to announce a 2024 bid but is currently polling at 7%, behind only former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis , per Morning Consult. In polling from February, it was revealed that a record-high 69% of U.S. adults were dissatisfied with current abortion policies, according to Gallup. Forty-six percent claimed to be dissatisfied and want less strict laws, while only 15% reported wanting stricter laws.
Sen. Tim Scott , who recently announced an exploratory committee for a possible 2024 run, also signaled his strong anti-abortion beliefs. In an interview, he said,"If I were president of the United States, I would literally sign the most conservative, pro-life legislation that they can get through Congress," but refused to discuss specific limits.
