Former Vice President Mike Pence took to X to ask senators to reject President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services, citing Kennedy’s stand on abortion as the reason not to confirm him.
Pence reminded readers about the record of the Trump-Pence administration being “unapologetically pro-life for our four years in office.” He said, “There are hundreds of decisions made at HHS every day that either lead our nation toward a respect for life or away from it, and HHS under our administration always stood for life.”
He pointed out that for most of his career, RFK Jr. has defended abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy. Pence then asks senators to vote against the appointment of Robert Kennedy Jr.
Pence commented on the X page of Advancing American Freedom, a foundation formed by Pence to promote conservative values.
