Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence recently told conservative Christians that he will help his running mate Donald Trump restrict abortion in America.

(Reuters/Carlo Allegri) Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence speaks at a campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A., August 31, 2016.

During the Values Voters Summit in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence appeared before a largely evangelical group at the Voters Summit in Washington, D.C. His promise to help Trump restrict abortion rights and appoint right-wing Supreme Court justices drew loud applause from the audience, Mother Jones reports.

"Let me be clear: People who know me well know I'm pro-life, and I don't apologize for it," Pence told the Christians on Saturday. "I want to live to see the day that we put the sanctity of life back at the center of American law, and we send Roe v. Wade to the ash heap of history, where it belongs."

In addition, Gov. Pence vowed to uphold the Hyde amendment, which blocks federal funding for abortions. Not only that, Trump's running mate said he will defund abortion giant Planned Parenthood.

Lastly, Pence reiterated Trump's goal to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who will interpret the U.S. Constitution in the same way that the late Justice Antonin Scalia did.

"When it comes to life and our liberties," said Pence, "Donald Trump will appoint justices to the Supreme Court of the United States who will strictly construe the constitution of the United States in the tradition of the late and great Justice Antonin Scalia."

Meanwhile, Trump told the conservative Christians that he would work to lift a ban that has prevented churches and tax-exempt organizations from endorsing political candidates. The billionaire said he will "give our churches their voice back" and repeal the Johnson Amendment if he is elected to office, The Washington Times relays.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus urged the people to unite in launching Trump to the Oval Office. He said a Trump presidency will prevent the rule of secularism in the country.
