Speeches at CPAC (2020s): on Abortion


Mike Pompeo: Abortion isn't a human right; it takes a human life

Under President Trump's leadership we have aligned American aid with American values by reinstating the policy that prohibits one single dollar of yours from going to an abortion anywhere in the world. President Trump understands deeply that abortion isn't a human right. it takes a human life.

Mike Pence: Trump is the most pro-life president in American history

I couldn't be more proud to be vice president to a president who stands without apology for the sanctity of human life. That is what makes it so remarkable that every leading Democrat running for president has actually said that there is no room in today's Democratic Party for pro-life voters. So let me say to every pro-life American--Republican, independent, or Democrat--you have a home in today's Republican Party. President Donald Trump is the most pro-life president in American history.

Mike Pompeo: Most pro-life administration in history of the United States

I'm proud that we were the most pro-life administration in the history of the United States of America. It was my job to deny that any taxpayer dollars from any hardworking American ever went to perform an abortion any place in the world. And we promoted adoption everywhere and always. And don't forget too, President Trump appointed an awful lot of judges that understand the words life, and liberty and words that have real, real meaning.

Mike Pompeo: Stopped taxes going to foreign countries to promote abortion

We protected every human life. I couldn't be more proud of the fact that when I came into be Secretary of State, your money that was being paid in American taxes going to foreign countries being used to promote abortion around the world--in an instant, we stopped at. We saved countless lives.

John Neely Kennedy: Shame on those who celebrate, actually celebrate, abortion

The truth is that all life is precious. All life. Shame on those who celebrate, actually celebrate, abortion. The truth is, the Republican party is the party of parents. We understand that if you do not love your children, your children will not stop loving you, your children will stop loving themselves.
