He was asked whether he'd be in favor of criminal penalties for abortion if abortion were made illegal, and he said yes, because he's a law and order candidate. In other words, he answered a stupid hypothetical. | ||

Pence has a shitty record there with women after his suppression of abortion in Indiana. I suspect a lot more old people watch the televized debates than young people. He wants the evangelical vote, a lot of whom stayed at home in 2012. | ||
