Former Vice President Pence would like the abortion pill mifepristone removed from pharmacies in the U.S., despite the Supreme Court ruling last week to allow continued access to the medication.

Former Vice President Mike Pence speaks to guests at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition Spring Kick-Off on April 22, 2023 in Clive, Iowa.

"I have deep concerns about the way the FDA went about approving mifepristone 20 years ago. I'm grateful that action is being taken in the courts to hold the FDA accountable to what the law requires in reviewing any medication that's made on the marketplace," Pence said"I'd like to see this medication off the market to protect the unborn," he said.

Pence, like Trump, spoke this weekend at an event for the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition with several others, like former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchingson, who are already seeking the GOP nomination, or at least weighing entering the race."I'm pro-life. I don't apologize for it. I think the fact the Biden administration allowed mifepristone to be made available on a mail-order basis was a fundamental change. Even in states that have limited abortion," Pence said.
