Another person on Trump’s short list is Indiana Governor Mike Pence. As governor, Pence oversaw a cut in Planned Parenthood funding in the state and signed legislation, since blocked, that would have restricted abortion access statewide. Pence was also a co-sponsor of the bill that authorized the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Last month, a federal judge blocked an Indiana law Pence had signed that would have further restricted abortions in the state. Both the ACLU and Planned Parenthood sued the state to block the law. Critics of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a state law Spence supported last year, said it would protect people who discriminated against the LGBT community.
