Remarks by Vice President Pence in a Conversation with Mothers and Pro-Life Leaders | Murrysville, PA
Issued on: September 9, 2020
Cornerstone Ministries Church
Murrysville, Pennsylvania
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you very much, Marjorie. Thank you to SBA List for all that you do. Im looking forward to our conversation in just a few minutes. But I didnt want to miss the opportunity to really just come by and say thank you to each and every one of you who, every day, are making this kind of a difference in the lives of young women and little babies.
And, Ikea and Ne-Lynn, its wonderful to have you here. Congratulations.
MS. WELLENS: Thank you. Were happy to be here.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Shes glorious. And Im looking very much forward to hearing about your experience with Womens Choice Network.
But to Amy and Natalie and Susan, who I think was one of the founders of the Womens Choice Network more than 30 years ago, just: Thank you. Thank you for the way you have poured yourselves into the lives of young women in this community, women who find themselves in some of those most challenging moments of their life. And the love and care that they receive at the Womens Choice Network has just changed lives. And its amazing to think of more than 7,000 little babies, just like yours, that were born into this community and into this world because of the care and love, in part, of the Womens Choice Network.
So I really want to thank each and every one of you. I also want to thank Chuck for your great work at the Lozier Institute. Looking forward to hearing about that work.
And I want to bring greetings from the most pro-life President in American history. I couldnt be more proud to serve alongside a President who stands without apology for the sanctity of life. And the President knows, and I know for many years, that its been people serving in crisis pregnancy centers that have really been the hands and feet of faith and compassion in this country.
And as we talk about Marjories conviction and mind that life is winning in America, I really believe that it is owing in large part to compassionate voices like those that are gathered around here, but also to the care thats taken place in places like the Womens Choice Network. So just thank you for your great work.
I also want to say Im just delighted to be back again with Judge Cheryl Allen, who is a principled jurist but also, as I learned in my first conversation with her, she is a dedicated pro-life American. And we just we appreciate your leadership not just here on the bench in Pennsylvania, but also your national voice for life has made a great difference.
And so, with that, Id love to just listen and learn and hear about the great stories of the Womens Choice Network. And just, once again, on behalf of the President and on behalf of our entire administration, and Paul, who is with us today from HHS, just thanking for what you do here. Thank you for the lives that youve saved. Thank you for the lives that have been changed because of the care and compassion of places like Womens Choice Network. Were going to stay with you and work with you until the day comes when we put the right to life back at the center of American law.
And so thank you all very much, and just God bless you in your continued work. Its an honor to be here.

OP

(7,947 posts)1. "Women's choice"... except, you know, the choice of abortion.
Pence is always so creepy with women. I don't know why.
I think because it just feels like he doesn't think we're, you know, actually totally people.

Probably how most conservative men view us?
