"Thankfully, it's a new day. And President Trump has the power to start protecting life again—immediately. He should use that power boldly to protect those who most need it: the innocent unborn." -US Sen. Josh Hawley

(Washington, DC) — [LifeSiteNews.com] Donald Trump should "set the moral tone for his second term" by "restor(ing) the full suite of pro-life policies" from his first term once he resumes the presidency just days from now, Republican US Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri argued Monday in an op-ed published by World. (Screengrab image: via Forbes)

On top of nominating three of the five Supreme Court Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, the "first Trump administration advanced a series of life-protecting rules and regulations through federal agencies that saved untold lives," Hawley wrote. 

Those actions included disqualifying entities involved in abortion from Title X family planning funds, making federal aid available to pregnancy resource centers that offer abortion alternatives, reinstating the Mexico City Policy blocking foreign aid to pro-abortion groups, restricting the use of aborted fetal tissue in scientific research, and denying a "right" to abortion at the United Nations.

After Joe Biden succeeded Trump..., his administration set to work dismantling those policies, Hawley recalled that "HHS tried to force federal grant recipients to make referrals for abortions, cut off funding for pregnancy resource centers, and use American tax dollars to help pay for abortions overseas (...) carried out raids on the homes of pro-life Americans and jailed peaceful protesters at abortion facilities ( ... and) enacted new federal rules permitting chemical abortion drugs to be mailed into pro-life states, effectively rendering state restrictions on abortion—adopted by voters and elected legislatures—worthless."

"Thankfully, it's a new day," the senator said. "And President Trump has the power to start protecting life again—immediately. He should use that power boldly to protect those who most need it: the innocent unborn."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
