Mike Pence in CNN "State of the Union" interviews for 2023 races

On Abortion: Err on the side of life to give unborn child every chance

In cases like an ectopic pregnancy, where the child simply cannot survive, I would assume that that would be covered by the life-of-the-mother exception. But in cases where it is simply the subjective judgment of a physician or a percentage potential, I always want to err on the side of life. I want to give that unborn child every chance at life. So I always want to err on the side of life, but I always want to recognize exceptions in tragic circumstances. Source: CNN SOTU interviews on 2023 Presidential primary hopefuls Jul 23, 2023

On Foreign Policy: This is all about America being the leader of the free world

I think giving the Ukrainians what they need to repel the Russian invasion, I think is the best way to send a message to China that America is the leader of the free world, and we're not going to tolerate either Russia or China, should they attempt to do so, to redraw international lines by force. This is all about America being the leader of the free world. And, if I'm president of the United States, we're going to lead from American strength.

On Government Reform: Going to clean house among senior leadership at DOJ

I heard again and again from people about a deep concern about unequal treatment of the law. And it's why I said to people, if I'm elected president of the United States, we're not just going to have a new attorney general. We're going to clean house among all the senior leadership at the Justice Department. And we're going to appoint men and women of integrity who will have the confidence of Americans across the political spectrum for their commitment to the rule of law.
