(Mike Pence) advocated for public spending on conversion therapy in Indiana.
His policies inadvertently caused an HIV outbreak in Indiana. After Planned Parenthood was shut down in Indiana, Scott County experienced an HIV outbreak. Planned Parenthood was the county's sole HIV testing center, and as a result of intravenous drug use, it saw an explosion of the disease in 2015. There were over 150 new cases reported in the tiny county of 23,000, according to the Chicago Tribune. He has opposed marriage equality. From his 2000 campaign website: "Congress should oppose any effort to put gay and lesbian relationships on an equal legal status with heterosexual marriage." Pence also has a track record of opposing same-sex marriage in legislation. In 2003, he signed the Federal Marriage Amendment, which worked to officially define marriage as between one man and one woman.
