On Friday, Vice-President Mike Pence became the highest-ranking U.S. official to ever speak at the March for Life, a gathering of anti-abortion activists that occurs annually in Washington, D.C., close to the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
Before his speech, Pence’s wife Karen Pence — who is referred to as “Mother” by her husband — introduced him, first assuring the crowd that it was not their first rodeo/March for Life.
She continued: “I have never met anyone who has more compassion for women, for children, and for the American people.” Interesting.
