Speaking at a commencement ceremony in his home state of Indiana, Vice President Mike Pence said he was proud of the Trump administration for standing “without a apology” for the “sanctity of human life,” but avoided any mention of the controversial anti-abortion measures approved in several states in recent weeks.
The vice president did not directly address the measure, which was signed into law by Alabama's governor but will have to survive legal challenges before it takes effect, or similarly restrictive bills approved in Georgia and Missouri. "You know, throughout most of our American history [it] has been pretty easy to call yourself a Christian. But things are different now," he said."Lately it's become acceptable, even fashionable, to malign traditional Christian beliefs.
A petition circulated by students and alumni that protested Pence's visit to the campus got 8,000 signatures online.
