Sorry Chemus, you picked the wrong one to reduce the reach of government. Trump said Pence was essentially going to be running the country. Pence has in the past tried to put government in control of the media, personal relationships, and healthcare to an unnerving degree. He's tried to put government on a path to force gay people to undergo conversion therapy (at places that have donated to his campaign). He's tried to establish a government run media company that all government news must go through. If that doesn't scare you, it's nice to meet you Kim Jong Un. He's tried to force private companies to ban certain demographics from service. He's really bad.
You talk of the abortion thing? I fully understand and sympathize with your viewpoint, even though I disagree with it. Personally, a fetus is not a person. Scientifically, a fetus is not a person. There is grey area that needs serious public policy debate, however, and we are not getting that debate in lieu of a shouting match between "all abortion is wrong and evil" and "you can't restrict it at all you nazi". However. You have picked to back the wrong candidate here too. Tim Kaine is anti-abortion. Mike Pence is anti-consensual interactions between two adults. Mike Pence supports abstinence only education, which has been proven, over and over again, to increase the danger to women of all ages, but especially under 20, with regards to STIs and unwanted pregnancies. Pence wants to prevent teens from getting the education they need to make healthy choices. Pence wants to restrict choices and availability for effective birth control. He wanted to prevent insurance companies from being able to provide for them, colleges from handing out free condoms, etc. He also wanted to make it harder to adopt babies out. The biggest thing he wanted to do was prevent LGBT+ couples and single parents from adopting.
You want free speech? Again, Pence wanted government controlled media. Trump has repeatedly said he wanted to be able to restrict the free press, suing them for saying things he doesn't like, regardless of whether or not the things are true. We already have fairly robust and actually a bit under protective freedom of speech rights, places like Breitbart and such can say things like 'Obama is an illegal alien who is literally going to kill you, personally, with his own penis'. And they're immune to lawsuit, for the most part.
You want honesty? We don't know how rich Trump is. He's lied multiple times about his finances, and never released his tax returns. Under audit? IRS says that doesn't matter, he still could. I'm not saying Clinton was honest, not at all. She's pretty dishonest and bends the truth regularly. However Trump is on another level. He sued Nevada's Clark County for letting voters in line when polls closed still vote. They are required by law to let them vote if they are in line, and Trump sued to prevent that. Trump has had his businesses go bankrupt 4 times. Two of them had a stipulation that Trump give up control of the company to someone who could run it better. He lost money running a freaking casino. That's illegal. Like, from a laws of nature perspective, it's just not possible, and he somehow did it. He regularly brags about lying to people about paying them. He's been sued by 8 year old girls who he stiffed. He hasn't donated to charities until called out on his lies about them, and lies about what the monies are used for. I think the funniest lie he's told lately was his support from Tom Brady. He said Brady voted for him on Monday. Brady told a radio show earlier that day that he hadn't voted yet, and doesn't want to get political (he never is political). Then his wife said unequivocally that neither she nor Brady supported Trump ever and weren't voting for him.
