'Betrayed': Mike Pence says he's 'deeply disappointed' in Donald Trump over abortion stance

Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized former President Donald Trump over his abortion stance, accusing his former boss of "retreating" from the anti-abortion movement.

Pence in an opinion essay in the New York Times published Saturday said his role in overturning Roe v. Wade was an accomplishment he was “perhaps most proud” of during his time as vice president. The Trump administration appointed three justices to the Supreme Court who rejected the landmark decision that previously guaranteed the right to an abortion from coast to coast.

But Pence in his op-ed alleged that Trump was no longer committed to the cause. Trump earlier this month said that abortion restrictions should be left to individual states and avoided the topic of a national abortion ban, prompting criticism from both the left and the right.

Democrats have accused Trump of simply trying to court more moderate voters, and many right-wing Republicans have called for nationwide abortion restrictions.

'Never respected him-- never will, but damn... is there no limit to how pathetic he can be?

...that actually cares what he thinks? Even republicans barely cared about while he was VP.
The New York Times thought he was relevant enough to publish? Why?

forcing birth on 10 yearl old rape victims. Or forcing people to carry non-viable pregnancies, even at the risk of their health and possibly death. If that's what your jesus would do, I want nothing of it!
