President Trump May Name Top Pro-Life Advocate as Global Women’s Issues Ambassador

Pro-life conservative leader Penny Young Nance may be President Donald Trump’s next ambassador at large for global women’s issues.

Nance, the president of Concerned Women for America, is a strong pro-life advocate who would continue to fight to protect women and girls, from the moment of conception, in the new role.

Two congressional aids recently said Trump is considering Nance for the position, Politico reports. The position through the Department of State involves overseeing programs to fight violence against women and girls, and promote educational and economic opportunities for them.

If nominated, she would add to the growing list of pro-life advocates who Trump has appointed to his administration. Teresa Manning and Charmaine Yoest, both of whom previously worked for prominent pro-life groups, are among the others.

Nance has been a bold and compassionate advocate for unborn babies and moms through her conservative Christian organization.

“We are told that abortion is not a big deal; that it’s a humane choice for the unborn baby; and that to be anti-abortion is to be anti-women. Guess what? None of this is true. And it’s time we got the facts straight,” she wrote in 2016.
“It is with compassion that we must share the facts and speak our minds,” Nance continued. “This is not about winning a theoretical argument; it is about the suffering of women, the loss of children, and the need to find compassionate, effective answers to a terrible national stain.”

Another one of Nance’s priorities has been to promote economic success for women and their children through expanded child tax credits.

Politico reports:

She has worked behind-the-scenes with Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and adviser, to help her find support for one of her causes: expanding the child tax credit. Concerned Women for America has long supported the credit dating back to the mid-1990s.

In early October, Nance told POLITICO that she and Ivanka Trump “agreed to work together to again increase the child tax credit in order to allow families to keep more of their own money and to free up their ability to invest in their children.”

Abortion activists already are groaning about her potential nomination.
