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.
