Thanks for bringing this up Anon. I too heard Kaine ask Pence this question and, I think it is key. 

I keep asking myself, especially in some of these very tragic situations,  who it is who should be the one to make the decision as to what is best - the govt. or the woman carrying the fetus/child? When asked this way, even those, who are "pro-life" seem to reconsider their position of abortion being illegal.

I think what we need to do to promote life is to help women in need and keep the theological pro-life position in the discourse. However, I don't think we should ever deny that the intensely personal nature of this decision as to what is best lies with the women, not the govt.
