President Donald Trump is on track to become the most pro-life president ever. That's the assessment of the leader of one national pro-life organization who is pleased with what the new president has done already and
just one year.....
...Here is an overview of his record since being elected president.
Within a week of taking office, President Trump reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy, which protects $9 billion in foreign aid from being used to fund the global abortion industry and its advocates.
President Trump cut off taxpayer funding for the U.N. Population Fund.
President Trump signed H.J. Res. 43 into law, overturning a midnight regulation by the Obama Administration, which prohibited States from defunding certain abortion facilities in their Federally funded family planning programs.
President Trump expressed strong support for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would have stopped late-term abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy—the point at which science tells us that an unborn child can experience pain.
President Trump's Administration issued guidance to enforce the requirement that taxpayer dollars not support abortion coverage in Obamacare exchange plans.
President Trump rescinded an Obama-era policy that hindered States in their efforts to direct Medicaid funding away from abortion facilities that violate the law or fail to meet relevant standards of care.
In January 2018, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced
three major policy changes to protect freedom of religion and the rights of pro-life doctors and nurses, including:
forming a new Conscience and Religious Freedom Division, providing HHS with the focus it needs to more vigorously and effectively enforce existing laws protecting the rights of conscience and religious freedom; and
proposing to more vigorously enforce 25 existing statutory conscience protections for Americans involved in HHS programs, protecting Americans who have religious or moral convictions related to certain health care services.
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins tells LifeNews that President Trump is the
real pro-life deal.
"President Trump is on track to being the most pro-life president this country has ever seen. The president has gone
beyond stopping the
pro-abortion policies of Barack Obama, he is restoring and even
expanding the pre-Obama pro-life policies," he said.
"After past elections, voters have become accustomed to elected officials pivoting away from promises.
But this is a president who is doing something rare in American politics — fulfilling campaign promises including protecting taxpayers from having to pay for abortions. This is a life-or-death
promise that the president has delivered on," Perkins said......
