Washington, D.C. – Ahead of President Trump’s planned announcement regarding abortion, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser praised Trump’s legacy of pro-life leadership and offered the following encouragement:
“President Trump has consistently advocated for protecting babies from painful late-term abortions. Beginning in his first administration, he consistently argued for a consensus federal minimum standard. Seven in 10 Americans agree that there should be limits on painful second and third trimester abortions. Forty-seven out of 50 European nations also have limits on abortion by the point when babies can feel excruciating pain.
“Meanwhile, President Biden’s Democratic Party has abandoned ‘safe, legal and rare’ and now stands for abortion on demand any time for any reason, paid for by taxpayers – no compassion, no common sense and no exceptions. While most women who’ve had abortions wish they’d had more help to keep their babies, the Biden administration even wants to discriminate against pregnancy centers that serve moms throughout pregnancy and beyond. But don’t expect the Democrats to level with voters. Instead they will spend millions to fearmonger and lie about the Republican position, denouncing any limits whatsoever on abortion as a ‘national ban,’ even while they refuse to tell the truth about their own radical stance.
“President Trump’s advocacy and leadership led to the historic Dobbs decision and the pro-life movement’s greatest opportunity. As President Trump has acknowledged repeatedly, states now have the right restored to determine their own laws. Still, America has never been more in need of a National Defender of Life to rein in extremism of states like California. We have every hope and indication President Trump will argue for a 15-week minimum standard.”
Multiple post-Dobbs polls show that at least seven in 10 Americans support significant limits on abortion. SBA Pro-Life America is tracking the pro-abortion extremism of the Biden-Harris administration at sbaprolife.org/biden-harris.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
