The Trump Administration’s Life-Affirming Health Plans

President Donald Trump has been the most pro-life president in decades. While it is sad to say the last few Republican presidents have been weak on one of the most fundamental beliefs of the party, President Trump’s defense of the preborn should be celebrated with optimistic enthusiasm.

The President’s pro-life position has been proven time and time again both before and since he took office. In the third presidential debate on October 19, 2016, responding to a question regarding Roe v. Wade, he began his answer by reassuring the Republican base he is pro-life and continued to promise to put pro-life judges on the Supreme Court. He has kept this promise in the form of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

In addition to his Supreme Court nominees, the President signed an executive order reinstating Reagan’s Mexico City Policy, ending United States funded abortions overseas. He has made it possible for states to defund Planned Parenthood of Title X or family planning funds. He also supported the creation of the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division within the Department of Health and Human Services to protect health care professionals who refuse to participate in abortion.

Just recently, the President set his sights on an Obamacare faux pas to add to his list of pro-life wins. Under Obamacare, millions of Americans were compelled to buy health insurance policies which funded abortions.

Then president Obama signed Executive Order 13535 to keep elective abortion funds separate from other services to ensure taxpayers and insurance buyers would not be compelled to pay for abortions. Only that executive order was merely a smokescreen. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of money knows it is next to impossible to keep federal subsidies, cost-sharing, and individual premiums separate from abortion funding.
