Pence’s horrible positions

Don’t be fooled by the calm demeanor Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence may present during the debate. The man is a radical extremist, holding positions that are often much more harmful to our society than anything Trump may say. Remember: this is the man who gained fame a while ago for passing Indiana’s so-called “Religious Freedom Act” legalizing discrimination against gays and lesbians. He believes that “God’s law trumps America’s laws” (and only his god, and his interpretation of his god, of course). He is dangerous.

Pence believes:

Gay people can be “cured” and the government should use taxpayer money to do this
We should take away marriage from gay and lesbian couples and prohibit them in the future
No enforcement of anti-gay hate crimes
Life begins at conception, and therefore all abortion is murder
Stem cells are also “life” and as such it should be illegal to experiment using them and illegal to use them to cure people of diseases
Fetuses should be considered “people” under the 14th amendment
No regulation of the mortgage industry to prevent fraud and the housing market collapse
Allow teacher-led prayer in schools
Amend the Constitution to prohibit flag desecration
Repeal Obamacare and replace it with nothing
Bar the EPA from regulating oil and gas emissions or greenhouse gasses
No family leave after childbirth
Support for Citizen’s United and the “right” for people and corporations to contribute to campaigns anonymously
Loosen restrictions on the sales of guns
No net neutrality, thus allowing internet providers to charge more and censor sites
In favor of the Patriot Act’s ability to allow warrantless wiretaps
Build a wall separating us from Mexico
