Vice President Mike Pence used an appearance at an annual gathering of conservatives to call out Democrats for advancing a “culture of death” in recent actions on abortion.
“Life is winning in America. For all the progress we’re making, tragically, at the very moment more Americans are embracing the right to life, leading members of the Democratic Party are embracing a radical agenda of abortion on demand,” Pence said at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, recently defended a comment he made that appeared to support infanticide.
Days ago, all but three Senate Democrats voted against a bill that would require proper medical care for a newborn baby who survived a botched abortion.
“In state legislatures across the country, Democrats have endorsed late-term abortion,” Pence said. “The Democrat governor of Virginia has openly embraced infanticide.”
“Just four short days ago,” the vice president said, “Democrats in the Senate, including every Democratic senator running for president, voted for a bill that would have prevented newborn babies who survived failing abortions from being killed.”
A new Marist poll found an increasing number of registered Democrats identify as pro-life, and that the same percentage of Americans—47 percent—who identify as pro-life identify as pro-choice.
Pence called President Donald Trump the “most pro-life president in history,” noting that Trump revoked U.S. tax dollars from funding abortions abroad and signed legislation allowing states to defund Planned Parenthood.
“Democrats are standing for late-term abortion, infanticide, and a culture of death,” Pence said. “I promise you, this president, this party, and this movement will always stand for the unborn and stand for the inalienable right to life.”
Pence gave a wide-ranging speech at CPAC, the largest annual national gathering of conservative activists, which ran through March 2 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, just outside Washington.
The vice president addressed Trump’s ambitions for a U.S. Space Force, building a wall on the southern border, the crisis in Venezuela, and the Democrats’ so-called Green New Deal proposal.
Pence said the people of Venezuela are embracing freedom against the embattled socialist regime of dictator Nicolas Maduro.
“Freedom is more generous, more helpful, and more humane than any other social or economic model ever attempted because it is the only philosophy that respects the dignity and worth of every single life and sees every man, woman, and child as made in the image of God,” Pence said.
Regarding the nonbinding resolution that many congressional Democrats are rallying around, he said: “The only thing green about the so-called Green New Deal is how much green it’s going to cost taxpayers if these people pass it into law: $90 trillion.”
Pence got a huge ovation when he echoed Trump’s line in his recent State of the Union address: “America will never be a socialist country.”
The vice president also said “freedom of religion is under attack” in America. He talked about the left’s attacks on second lady Karen Pence for teaching art at a Christian school.
“Lately, it has actually become fashionable for media elites and Hollywood liberals to mock religious belief,” Pence said.
“My own family recently came under attack just because my wife Karen went back to teach art to children at a Christian school,” he said. “Let me say before all of you, I couldn’t be more proud of my wife. She is a Marine Corps mom, she’s a great school teacher, and Karen Pence is a great second lady of the United States of America.”
But the vice president was clear this was not about his family, but about all Americans, because religious liberty is enshrined in the Constitution and “in the hearts of the American people.”
“From this president, and this administration, we will always stand with people of faith,” Pence said. “We will always defend the freedom of religion of every American of every faith.”
We condemn the Nazi’s for the 17 million or so they killed at concentration camps in WWII. But we have all been contributing our hard earned tax dollars for the 57 million plus innocent babies legally murdered since 1973.
Our judgement day is coming folks. And we’re not going to like it.
I simply do not understand how Democrats can cry about illegals being detained, especially children, and then turn around and gladly accept the extermination of unborn children! Which is it, if it’s a double homicde when you kill a pregnant woman, why is it not murder when you kill an unwanted baby?
Mike pence while giving his speech should have showed a documentary on the killing of newborn babies comin out the womb that might have hit home on some of those low life democrats! Shame on you Democrat’s!
Thank you, VP Pence, for defending life and family. These Democrats and not a small number of Republicans have been committing treason and selling our nation out for their own personal profit and their own Communist ideologies. I know President Trump is working to “drain the swamp”, and you are by his side, but it’s a deep and wide swamp, so the denizens will attack from every rock, stump, and sump hole. My family and I pray for you.
This issue is not political rather straight up murder; what an egregious behavior. We must, within the scope of the law, do all we can to stop infanticide. What did our precious babies do to deserve such despicable, selfish behavior? If you do not desire a baby, then be a responsible adult and take a contraceptive or fix it so you cannot have children. Babies are precious no matter when they come; a gift from God. I know this because my wife and I raised to precious baby girls. How about giving up your baby for adoption; there are plenty of people who are prepared to love that baby. Shame on all you Doctors for going against your Hippocratic oath in the name of women’s rights; what of the baby’s rights? Democracy is for all Americans; even the unborn child. My twin sister and I were born three months early with great complications; I am so thankful my mother did not abort us and yes it almost took her life delivering us; she is my hero. The very right to life we enjoy should be afforded to an unborn child and now the unthinkable for the child that is delivered. Why is this even an issue in America? Let us stand for what we know is right.
All those who support the Dems current abortion position should be required to witness a live late term abortion, by live I mean not a multimedia reproduction, in the room at the time of the procedure.
Yes!! The only thing green about the green new deal is the GREEN it is going to cost – probably much more than anyone can fathom.
We know dems lie as regularly as they breath, but sometimes finding out the specifics can be amazing. Their oft stated gambit regarding late term abortion needing to be allowed to save the life of the mother swayed many, including me. Who wants to condemn a woman to death, right? Well, i found a site on yt featuring a former abortionist, a Dr Levatino. He patiently and methodically explains the preparation needed for second and third trimester abortion, which can take days. He also describes the speed with which doctors move to save women late in pregnancy who develop life threatening illness, but who do not seek abortion. He describes several extremely dangerous conditions some women develop. The solution: immediate caesarean section. Result: both mother and child survive. The bottom line: dems insist on ‘the right to choose’ even after birth. All this would be bad enough if there werent untold thousands of infertile couples desperate for a child who would be overjoyed to adopt unwanted children.
This is how bad I see it! If someone would have told my grandfather or grandmother, just one generation away. that the government wanted yo kill babies in the womb at any stage,they would have been dumb-founded. I can assure you that what is going on in the Democrat Party in this United States,today, would shock the generations before us, to the core. I mean! It is unbelievable to me, as I see what is happening, in our schools and universities, what they are trying to indoctrinate our young people with, is evil and demonic to the core. The Democrat Party has completely gone off the rails in just a few short years, Our Forefathers wouldn’t even recognize them as a party of these United States. Our nation is in dire straights and We The People need to come together and fight this evil with every breath that is in us, otherwise there will be no Sovereign Nation left to fight for.
These leftists are using the News Media ,Hollywood Leftists and even our educational system to support their ungodly,Socialist/Marxist agenda. The Republicans seem to think we can just continue throwing money at it, but I, for one, am tired of all the emails I get from The Republican Party and other Conservative groups, asking for more and more of my tax dollars, for donation after donation. We need a United front. not a bunch of splinter groups, out to make a buck!! We have so many organizations and PACS, using the American people for their “Piggy Banks,” It is disgusting at times.
Some of these are just after the money, (in my opinion.) We need to unite on one front. I don’t know what that front would be, but we have to do something different, otherwise we are no different than these phonies in the Democrat Party!
A Nation that sells out to Satan is headed for destruction. Wake up America.
All abortion is premeditated murder!
Mike Pence is a really good man. He stands for the “Hoosier” values, that I grew up with in Indiana, and still treasure today. Not all Hoosiers have the same value system, but a lot of us do. By the way, I have been a Texan most of my adult life. Texan values are about the same as Indiana’s. Yes, American values are Mike Pence’s value system and for that we can all be thankful!
Thank goodness for standing up for moral issues so important to the people of faith. God bless you and know we are backing you
If you hate the United States of America, vote for Democrats.
Democrats need to be voted out of office. People voting for these socialist animals need to be thrown out of this country and sent to Cuba or Russia or some other socialist country to see what socialism is really like. Thank God we have people like Trump and Pence in office. Can you imagine what it would be like with Hillary in charge.?
The Democrats are doubling down to carry out their agenda’s but a time will come when they’ll pay for them.
While the news carries the news of all shootings – and the numbers of the dead which is horrible indeed – but they never mention the killing of the unborn and even now born children in the slaughter houses called Un. Planned parenthood and the numbers of them exceeding more than each shooting! Where is sense and careing today ???!!
Anyone who ‘participates’ in the murder of an unborn or live baby gets the death penalty immediatly. Clear enough for ya!
The nation we love is coming to a crossroads. The Democrats have lost all morals and will stoop to any low in order take complete control. Watch what happens with all the irregularities in the 2020 elections as they try to
seize power. The choices will be simple surrender our beliefs or fight. Thank the good Lord for the 2nd amendment.
I agree. It might be a good idea to add federally mandated contraception for both men and women to the list of ways to prevent unwanted babies. I think men and women should have their tubes tied. No matter the outcome of that procedure, it may make people think a little harder about having unprotected sex. I do think the mother of a baby as a result of unwanted sex–rape or sex under the control of drugs–should be given the greatest care during the pregnancy and the baby put up for adoption immediately providing it is healthy physically and mentally. Otherwise it is the ward of the court as is the mother. The mother should be put into protective custody (with no appeal possible) without federal direct supervision during the pregnancy sos that dangerous behaviors during that time are nonexistent.
The man who donated the sperm must agree to financially support the baby until it is 21. Period. I have talked with far too many women and I myself was left with 3 little kids and no financial support after the father and I divorced. They were awarded to me because he disappeared again. Behaviors like that are as inexcusable as abuse and the result appears to be similar.
Thank you Vice President Pence for being a responsible MAN with morals and values that we can all espouse to. Thank you for being a man of God and not being afraid to say so. I am appalled with the left and their selfish, hedonistic ways of acting and thinking. To think that murdering infants is ever ok is beyond me. I love my God, I love this country, and I love the Constitution and all it stands for. I served my country in the Air Force and the Naval Reserve and would do so again if I were young enough. We must do everything possible to defeat these evil people and keep our precious freedoms alive.
