President Trump made headlines in his February 5 address by strongly condemning New York's newly passed radical abortion expansion law and Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's support of late term abortion.

During an address at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast on Tuesday, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said those comments were edited in by hand by Trump as he reviewed the final draft of his speech.

The State of the Union followed closely on the heels of New York State's January 22 passage of the so-called Reproductive Health Act, which enshrined abortion as a "fundamental right" in state law, allows non-doctors to perform abortion, and eliminated pro-life protections for unborn children until their birth.

The law is considered the most radical abortion in the nation and set the stage for other states to follow suit, drawing condemnation from pro-life quarters and beyond.

Within the following week Virginia Governor Ralph Northam also caused a firestorm with his expressed support for late-term abortion in a radio interview discussion of a proposed bill in the commonwealth that would permit abortion for mothers already in the process of giving birth.

Trump castigated both of these extreme affirmations of abortion in no uncertain terms in his State of the Union address, calling upon Congress to pass legislation banning late term abortion and declaring that unborn children are made in the image of God.

"There could be no greater contrast to the beautiful image of a mother holding her infant child than the chilling displays our nation saw in recent days," he told the nation.

"Lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb moments before birth," he said. "These are living, feeling, beautiful babies who will never get the chance to share their love and dreams with the world"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
