Mike Pence Has Led a Crusade Against Abortion Access and LGBT Rights

Donald Trump has reportedly selected Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate, according to the Indianapolis Star and other outlets. It's a move that will surely appeal to the religious right, a constituency Trump has courted by meeting with evangelical leaders and promising to appoint anti-abortion Supreme Court justices. In contrast to the thrice-married, formerly pro-choice, ideologically flexible Trump, Pence is a lifelong conservative who could assuage evangelical voters skeptical of Trump's election-year conversion to social conservative values.

A father of three, Pence worked as an attorney in private practice and had two unsuccessful bids for the House of Representatives before winning the seat in 2000 and serving for 12 years. He was elected governor in 2012. He also has media experience: In the 1990s, he hosted The Mike Pence Show, a talk radio show, and described himself as "Rush Limbaugh on decaf."

In Congress, Pence was a champion of conservative and religious causes. He voted against measures aimed at preventing LGBT discrimination and helping families in poverty, and he supported federal legislation prohibiting same-sex marriage. As governor of Indiana, Pence has brought this Religious Right-friendly agenda to the state and enacted a number of stringent socially conservative measures.

Here's a summary of his conservative record:...
