Pence blasts Trump's 'slap in the face' announcement on key issue for Christian voters
Fox News
Former Vice President Mike Pence charges that Donald Trump's announcement not supporting a federal abortion ban is a "retreat" and "a slap in the face to the millions of pro-life Americans."
The former vice president's statement came a couple hours after Trump took credit for the decision two years ago by the conservative majority on the Supreme Court that overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, which had legalized abortion nationwide.
But Trump declined to support the push by social conservatives to ban abortion at the federal level and emphasized his support for states determining their own laws for abortion so long as there are exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother.
