In a late-night outburst, former President Donald Trump took to his proprietary social media site, Truth Social, to unleash a scathing attack on his former vice president, Mike Pence. The animosity stems from a contentious disagreement over abortion policy.

Trump began his tirade by thanking Pence for his previous role while criticizing his stance on abortion. The former president asserted that Pence never believed he could successfully overturn the Roe v. Wade decision and return the matter to individual states, as prescribed by legal scholars.

Trump highlighted Pence's evolving positions on abortion, stating that the former vice president initially supported a complete ban before allowing abortions within certain time frames. This comment appears to reference pro-life bills endorsed by Pence, aimed at narrowing the scope of abortion at the state or national level.

Pence has been a steadfast pro-life advocate throughout his political career, believing that the termination of an embryo is morally unacceptable at any stage. However, Trump's criticism also employed recycled language previously used against Senator Lindsey Graham, implying inconsistency in their positions.

Expressing frustration with the current political landscape, Trump acknowledged that Democrats would never approve any restrictions on abortion, while the Republican party lacks the necessary number of senators to enact meaningful change. He also chastised Pence for allegedly receiving poor counsel from individuals like Marc Short, his former chief of staff.

The article highlights Trump's attempt to shift the focus onto Democrats, urging the public to question their stance on late-term abortions and alluding to controversial suggestions made by a former Democratic Governor of Virginia regarding post-birth procedures. Trump concluded by emphasizing that the Republicans are not the radicals in this debate.

The sudden barrage of criticism aimed at Pence can be attributed to the former vice president's recent public critique of Trump's abortion policy plan. Pence expressed disappointment in Trump's decision not to support a federal ban on abortion, considering it a retreat from the Right to Life and a disregard for the pro-life individuals who supported the Trump-Pence ticket.

Trump had previously taken credit for the conservative-leaning Supreme Court's decision two years ago to overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion nationwide. However, in a departure from social conservatives, Trump opted not to endorse a federal ban on abortion, instead supporting states' rights to determine their own abortion laws with certain exceptions.

Pence argued that Trump's stance represents a missed opportunity to further advance the pro-life cause, asserting that the former administration had successfully paved the way for the end of Roe v. Wade and offered a compassionate approach supporting women and unborn children.

The former vice president expressed disappointment with fellow Republican politicians who seemed unwilling to engage in the battle for life, lamenting their reluctance to fully champion the pro-life movement.

The contentious exchange between Trump and Pence highlights the deep divide within the Republican party over abortion policy, leaving their supporters questioning the future trajectory of the Right to Life movement.
