"On behalf of tens of millions of pro-life Americans,werespectfully urge Senate Republicans to reject this nomination and give the American people a leader whorespectsthedignityof life," Pence said in a statementreleasedby the grouppromotingAmerican Freedom,which"deeplyconcernsmillions of pro-life Americans.""



Some of Trump's alliesdismissed Pence'sobjections, arguing thatKennedyhadno reason to believehewouldsupportthe platformlaunchedby Republicans over the summer.Itlargelypostponedthisissue to thestate.



"RFK Jr.is going to serve at the pleasure of the president. And the president hasmadeitvery clear that his policy is that thereisno federal role in abortion,"saidthehead of the American Principles Project.

But regardless of whotheHhssecretaryis, Dannenfelser also saidhebelievesthe"baselinepolicy" set by Trump's first termwillreturn.



Thoseclose to thePresident-elect's transition saidtheydid notbelievetheissue ofabortionwould poseanyrealhurdle to Kennedy's confirmationandwerenotsurprisedthat Pence washavinganargumentwithKennedy.



During the campaign,Trump expressed support for Kennedy'splatform of"makingAmericahealthyagain"andsuggestedthathebe"obsessedwithhealth" in the new administration.
