Mike Pence Had a Meeting With Anti-Choice Activists He Doesn’t Want You to Know About

The vice president's Twitter account posted a photo of his meeting with activists determined to destroy reproductive health care, but no one will discuss details of the meeting.
Pence hasn’t been shy about his ire for reproductive rights, vowing during the campaign to “send Roe v. Wade to the ash heap of history, where it belongs.”

The White House won’t answer questions about a meeting last week between Vice President Mike Pence and anti-choice advocates, even though some of the advocates are clearly identifiable in a photo posted from the vice president’s official Twitter account.
Pence and the advocates reaffirmed President Trump’s “commitment to the sanctity of life” amid plans to strip at least 22 million people of health care and discount reproductive health care entirely, according to the tweet.
Neither Pence’s daily schedule nor White House pool reports from reporters on duty at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue disclosed the sit-down—meaning that, in all likelihood, it would have gone unreported without a signal boost from the vice president’s office.
Pence spokesperson Mark Lotter refused to supply further details.
The photo clearly identifies Susan B. Anthony (SBA) List President Marjorie Dannenfelser and Concerned Women for America CEO and President Penny Nance, who posted a separate close-up to her Instagram account. A third attendee, March for Life President Jeanne Mancini, retweeted Pence.
“We met with the Vice President to talk with him about our pro-life priorities for the healthcare bill,” Mancini told Rewire in an emailed statement.
