Donald Trump campaigned on leaving abortion laws for individual states to decide for themselves, but critics say that will be a tough position for him to maintain while president as he faces Republican pressures to enact stricter federal anti-abortion policies. President Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services has taken down the federal government website ReproductiveRights.gov, and on Jan. 23 the returning president pardoned 23 anti-abortion activists. One of former President Biden’s final acts, in contrast, was to issue his opinion that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is now federal law, which advocates say they hope will help advance a pro-choice agenda even with Biden out of office.

Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker explains why she says it’s so important for Trump to restrict abortion access and what exact steps she says he should take to reverse “self-righteous” Biden-era policies and advance a pro-life agenda.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

You know, Congress should do everything within their power to protect human life at every stage. The protection of human life is the most important responsibility for every level of government.

Our Declaration of Independence says: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” We all know this.

Well, fittingly, the first of these rights is a right to life. Without it, we cannot enjoy any of the other rights that are endowed by our creator and affirmed in our Constitution.

What a wonderful day it is here in Washington, DC, with freedom in the air. Well, let’s hope that that freedom extends to inside the womb. President Trump should reverse Biden’s abuses and protect human life. Former President Biden was self righteous about the rule of law, but his administration too often ignored the law to promote an ideological agenda. They were particularly aggressive in promoting abortion at home and abroad, despite clear legislative constraints on using taxpayers money and funds for abortion purposes. Congressman Chris Smith, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee for Africa. He mostly works in Africa on his issues there, but he’s promised a congressional investigation following reports that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has violated federal law by illegally using taxpayer dollars for from President’s Emergency Plan. Now I’m talking about President Biden’s emergency plan for Africa relief to pay for abortions in Mozambique. Yeah, they’re in Africa paying for abortions. This is just a tip of the iceberg. Says Smith, he believes the Biden administration’s denial of such abuses in quotes have rung hollow in the face of their aggressive promotion of abortion and collaboration with some of the largest international abortion providers. End Quote from Congressman Smith, President Trump can reverse the abuses of Biden administration, and he can restore important policies that were in place during his term, he can reinstate the Mexico City Policy, for instance, so the taxpayer money is no longer providing funds to organizations that perform or promote abortion. The United States should also reinvigorate the Geneva conscious declaration, what is the Geneva consensus declaration it affirms the sovereignty of all nations to enact policies that protect human life and support the role of the family as foundational to society. And there are a lot of countries that want that in place so they can protect their interests, not be pushed by the former White House to provide abortion or get involved in abortion. They don’t want it pursuant to President Trump’s direction, the Department of Health and Human Services should do everything possible to protect human life. They should prevent taxpayer funds from going to abortion providers. They should support life affirming work of the pregnancy care centers, and they should protect the conscious rights of doctors and nurses who do not want to be involved with abortion. President Trump and his appointees should ensure that abortions are not performed in the Department of Defense, nor in veterans any of their health care facilities, and that federal health care programs do not support or promote abortion.

 

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson are both speaking at the National March for Life here in Washington, DC, these leaders are immediately seeking to advance legislation that will protect born alive infants who survive an abortion procedure. Yes, when babies are born alive, the Biden administration said, Kill them. Doctors and nurses had problems with this. The moms had problems. We had problems, and now we’re going to see legislation that says if a baby is born alive. They should stay alive. They probably have great purpose and meaning in their lives. You know, Congress should do everything within their power to protect human life at every stage. The protection of human life is the most important responsibility for every level of government. Our Declaration of Independence says We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We all know this well, fittingly, the first of these rights is a right to life. Without it, we cannot enjoy any of the other rights that are endowed by our Creator and affirmed in our Constitution.
