In a statement, the Democratic National Committee said the former vice president is “pushing an extreme plan that would ban medicated abortion pills.”

“Mike Pence is leading Republicans’ charge to make abortion illegal across the country, punish doctors, and now apparently taking issue with abortion pills,” said DNC Spokesperson Ammar Moussa. “Pence’s speech in Florence will provide a roadmap for Republicans across the country as they work tirelessly to strip away Americans’ fundamental rights — but Democrats will fight back and ensure voters across the country hear about Republicans’ extreme agenda.”

Americans cannot afford Pence’s dangerous, anti-choice agenda.
