Former Vice President Mike Pence has urged Senate Republicans to block the appointment of RFK Jr. as head of Health and Human Services, because of his pro-abortion positions.

In a long statement posted by the Advancing America Foundation on Twitter, Pence said, “I believe the nomination of RFK Jr. to serve as Secretary of HHS is an abrupt departure from the pro-life record of our administration and should be deeply concerning to millions of Pro-Life Americans who have supported the Republican Party and our nominees for decades.”

Pence states that the appointment is unsuitable because “there are hundreds of decisions made at HHS every day that either lead our nation toward a respect for life or away from it, and HHS under our administration always stood for life.”

Pence claimed that RFK Jr. has been a staunch advocate of “abortion on demand during all nine months of pregnancy” and wants to overturn the Dobbs decision and introduce legislation to “codify Roe v. Wade.”

“If confirmed, RFK, Jr. would be the most pro-abortion Republican appointed secretary of HHS in modern history.”

“The pro-life movement has always looked to the Republican party to stand for life, to affirm an unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed,” Pence continues, before ending the statement with a plea to resist the appointment directly in the legislature.

“On behalf of tens of millions of pro-life Americans, I respectfully urge Senate Republicans to reject this nomination and give the American people a leader who will respect the sanctity of life as secretary of Health and Human Services.”

Reaction to the statement was mixed. Twitter users noted that being pro-life isn’t just about your attitude to abortion.

“If @Mike_Pence is against it, I gotta be for it. Taking poisons and toxins out of our food supply is one of the most pro-life moves in our govt’s history. Being pro-life isnt just about abortion,” posted one user.

Others were more blunt.

“Nobody cares what Mike Pence, the traitor, says!!” wrote another.
