Trump Administration Advances Pro-Life Agenda in First Week of Second Term
President Trump issues pardons, signs executive orders, and supports new legislation as Republicans push for stricter abortion regulations.
- President Trump pardoned 23 pro-life advocates prosecuted under the FACE Act during the Biden administration, citing their cases as unjust.
- The White House removed a Biden-era website promoting abortion services and issued executive orders emphasizing fetal personhood and traditional gender definitions.
- The Republican-controlled House passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, though Senate Democrats blocked a similar bill earlier this week.
- Pro-life advocates are urging Trump to reinstate restrictions on abortion pills like mifepristone, citing concerns over women's health and increased access to chemical abortions.
- Republicans, led by figures like Rep. Chip Roy, are calling for the repeal of the FACE Act and defunding of Planned Parenthood, redirecting funds to support pregnancy resource centers and adoption initiatives.
