Abortion and Pro-Life Accomplishments of President Trump

The Accomplishments of the Trump Administration on Pro-Life and Other Issues

1.	Under the Trump administration, the unborn have the ultimate advocate. From appointing pro-life judges, to stopping the flow of taxpayer-funds to abortion providers, and defending the unborn abroad — the case is clear for a second term for President Trump.
2.	Top line: President Trump is the most pro-life President in history. President Trump became the first President in history to speak at the annual March for Life. Vice President Pence has a long history of being a voice for the voiceless in standing up for the most innocent among us.
3.	Donald Trump and Mike Pence campaigned on the promise to defend life from its earliest stage and to defund Planned Parenthood. President Trump and Vice President Pence have kept that promise.
4.	April 2017: In the first year of the Trump-Pence administration, President Trump signed a bill that allowed states to defund Planned Parenthood of Title X (family planning) funding, reversing an Obama attempt to force states to fund abortion providers.
5.	January 2018: Reversed an Obama Administration policy that blocked states from deciding if Planned Parenthood should be stripped of Medicaid funding.
6.	February 2019: The Protect Life Rule was finalized, cutting Planned Parenthood’s Federal funding by $60 million.
7.	As a result of the President’s policies, Planned Parenthood announced it is withdrawing from the Title X program This clears the way for health care centers that respect the right to life to receive more federal funding
8.	President Trump and Vice President Pence have spent nearly three years actively working to get life-protecting legislation passed.
9.	The Trump-Pence administration reinstated the Mexico City Policy that ends Federal funding of overseas abortions. The Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance program was created to ensure that hard earned tax dollars are not funding foreign abortions across all global health spending – not just family planning dollars. This protects over $8.8 BILLION in overseas aid from being used for abortions.
10.	President Trump has appointed Federal judges that uphold the pro-life view that all life is sacred from the moment of conception. This includes two pro-life Supreme Court Justices.
11.	President Trump has written Congress on numerous occasions, encouraging and urging them to vote to protect innocent human life. No-Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2019. Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
12.	The Trump-Pence administration has issued new guidance ensuring hospitals provide medical care to infants who survive abortions.
13.	The current administration has proposed numerous resolutions to fight the Obama era pro-abortion policies. Require Obamacare insurers to issue separate invoices for abortion coverage. Require Obamacare insurers to provide clients an identical plan in the same geographic area that does not provide coverage of abortion. Reverse the Obama policy that made recipients of certain Federal funding provide abortions.
14.	President Trump has taken the pro-life movement to the world stage: the administration opposes the efforts of the United Nations to make abortion an international human right.
15.	The Trump-Pence administration has taken steps to protect pro-life organizations from having to provide abortion referrals or cover abortion in their health insurance plans.
16.	The Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has dramatically shifted in placing value on the unborn. Funding for fetal tissue research – which uses aborted human body parts – has been cut. HHS’ newly created Conscience and Religious Freedom Division fights for doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals who do not wish to have any part in abortions. The Trump-Pence administration is protecting all Americans’ First Amendment rights.
17.	President Trump and Vice President Pence’s stance on life stands in stark contrast with all of the Democrat candidates. Every single Democrat running for President wholeheartedly endorse abortion until birth and abortion without restriction. Democrat candidates’ polices would provide abortion procedures for free at the expense of the hardworking American tax dollars.
18.	President Trump’s most pro-life quotes: “I will veto any legislation that weakens current pro-life Federal policies and laws, or that encourages the destruction of innocent human life at any stage.” “My administration has repeatedly demonstrated its respect for human life and conscience at all stages… Today, we recommit ourselves to protecting innocent life every day and at every stage.”
