Mike Pence does not respect life.

...As professor Reva Siegel of Yale Law School has long argued, a "pro-life" view of the world must necessarily encompass more than stopping abortions.

Donald Trump and Mike Pence can wrap themselves in the soothing language of supporting life. But not one other word spoken during Wednesday night's debate suggested any regard for human life, as it is currently manifested across the country and, indeed, the planet. As their attempts to minimize and distract from their COVID response shows, they seem a bit more comfortable every passing day to resign themselves to widespread death. Or as Siegel put it in an email to me today, "We have to stop debating abortion in a single-issue context—and ask what opposition to abortion reflects when an official or government opposing abortion fails to express concern for human life in these other policy contexts?"...

What he was really saying is neither he, nor the president, nor anyone else who refuses to wear masks (including his wife when she joined him onstage after the debate) should be denied their right to exercise "freedom" and personal choice, even if human life is at stake. But this exact freedom and choice is precisely what they would like to deny to women who would also like to make much more fundamental decisions about their own bodies and lives than merely keeping a mask on. Only then does the value of "life" enter the ledger sheet, and indeed tip the balance completely.
