President Donald Trump has the potential to be "the most pro-life president this country has ever seen," according to Family Research Council President Tony Perkins.
In an op-ed for CNSNews.com, Perkins writes that from the State Department on the "Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance" plan, it "shows that the president has gone beyond stopping the pro-abortion policies of [former President] Barack Obama, he is restoring and even expanding the pre-Obama pro-life policies."
This policy, implemented by Trump, requires foreign, nongovernmental organizations to agree not to "perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations."
Perkins writes that Trump "is doing something rare in American politics — fulfilling campaign promises including protecting taxpayers from having to pay for abortions. This is a life-or-death promise that the president has delivered on."
"The report issued [yesterday] shows that the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance plan which President Trump signed into law can both seamlessly provide healthcare and global aid assistance while promoting human life. It shows that both can be accomplished without subsidizing the international abortion industry," Perkins continues.
"Family Research Council and the pro-life movement looks forward to continuing to work with the Trump administration in bringing about a culture of life in which every child is welcomed into this world and protected under our laws, both here and abroad while promoting healthcare and global aid."
