"Mike Pence doesn’t mince words about the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. “I’m pro-life. I don’t apologize for it,” the former vice president told David Axelrod in a recent interview. “It’s a deeply held conviction for me and for my family,” he said, citing religious beliefs. But in a twist of irony, a second judge blocked Indiana’s strict abortion ban on religious grounds late last week, based on a law Pence himself enacted as governor of the Hoosier state almost a decade ago.

Judge Heather Welch ruled that the law, which prohibits abortion at 10 weeks of pregnancy with narrow exceptions, “substantially burdens” the religious exercise of five women, as part of a lawsuit backed by the Indiana American Civil Liberties Union. Lawyers for the plaintiffs argued that the ban violates Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a law Pence signed in 2015, barring the government from infringing on one’s religious beliefs or practices (a highly controversial law that was heavily criticized for initially allowing businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people).
