National pro-life leaders meeting this month at Priests for Life headquarters in Titusville, Florida, signed a joint letter to President Trump, members of his administration, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson to thank them for “concrete actions” taken to protect the unborn.
The text of the letter is below:
February 7, 2025
Memo from Pro-life Leaders to President Trump
Officials of the Trump Administration
Senate Majority Leader John Thune
House Speaker Mike Johnson
We the undersigned leaders of pro-life organizations across America want to express to you our gratitude for the concrete actions that have been taken since the start of the 119th Congress on January 3rd and the start of the Trump Administration on January 20th to advance the protection of the most vulnerable members of the human family, the children in the womb.
These actions have sought to protect children who survive abortions, to protect peaceful pro-life activists who have been unjustly prosecuted, and to protect our taxpayer dollars from funding abortion.
Voters in the 2024 election have expressed a mandate to return to commonsense in government. The same commonsense that rejects gender insanity, which denies that a man is a man or a woman is a woman, should likewise reject abortion insanity, which denies that a baby is a baby.
We therefore express our gratitude to President Trump and all the elected and appointed officials in his Administration, and to the leadership of the 119th Congress and all its members who uphold the rights of the unborn. We pledge to continue to work together to strengthen and advance any and all protections for these youngest and most vulnerable members of the human family, and to assist families who face obstacles in bringing their unborn children to birth.
America will be great again to the extent that we protect our first and most basic right, the right to life.
