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.
