When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Mike Pence was elated. For decades, he had decried the decision and championed the right to life. Much has changed on the right since Donald Trump’s first term, in which Pence helped shape the judicial appointments that led to the court’s landmark ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. But the former vice president remains palpably proud of his work.
“I think the appointment of three of the justices that sent Roe to the ash heap of history, where it belongs, was a historic and generational achievement that will endure,” Pence told National Review in a phone interview.
