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

Second Term Accomplishments

Text of Executive Order on Biological Truth and an article about this Executive Order

The second Trump Administration has been marked by a series of important pro-life measures. We thank our friends at LifeNews for reporting on these.

Trump started his incredible pro-life week with removing Joe Biden’s web site that promoted abortion. He followed that up with an executive order that confirmed human beings begin their lives at conception.

The president followed that up with an executive order pardoning 23 pro-life Americans who Joe Biden unjustly convicted for exercising their free speech rights to protest at abortion businesses.

Trump signed an executive order reinstating the “Mexico City Policy,” which prohibits taxpayer funding of groups like International Planned Parenthood that promote and perform abortions in other nations.

President Trump issued an executive order enforcing the Hyde Amendment, which bars the use of federal funds for elective abortions domestically. This move underscores the administration’s commitment to preventing taxpayer dollars from funding abortion services within the United States.

President Trump also participated in the annual March for Life rally in Washington, D.C., where he delivered a videotaped speech reaffirming his administration’s dedication to pro-life initiatives. His presence at the rally reminded pro-life Americans of a significant moment during his first term, as he became the first sitting president to attend the event in person, signaling strong support for the anti-abortion movement. The event also saw JD Vance give his first speech as the Vice President.

Furthermore, the administration announced plans to limit the enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, arguing that it has been used to target pro-life activists unfairly. This decision reflects the administration’s stance on protecting the rights of individuals engaging in peaceful protest outside abortion businesses. The end of lawfare against pro-life Americans is a significant free speech victory.

President Trump also issued a statement endorsing a Congressional bill that would protect babies who survive abortions. And finally, President Trump signed the United States onto a document called the Geneva Declaration that confirms there is no right to kill babies in abortions.

President Donald Trump put America’s signature back on a pro-life document signed by dozens of nations worldwide confirming there is no international right to abortion.

In November 2020, 37 nations signed the Geneva Consensus Declaration, which confirms that “there is no international right to abortion, nor any international obligation on the part of States to finance or facilitate abortion.”

Appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, who has not committed to ensuring the availability of the abortion pill mifepristone.

Reversed a Biden-era policy that funded travel for military personnel seeking abortions, ending taxpayer-funded abortion-related travel.

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.
