Time for Trump to make good on his pro-life promises
By Melanie Israel, opinion contributor - 01/22/17 10:00 AM EST

Last September Donald Trump committed to “work to support the dignity of human life from conception to natural, dignified death.” Now that he is officially president, pro-life Americans will watch closely to see how the new administration follows through on this unambiguous commitment to defend life.

President Trump can take several pro-life actions now that he sits inside the Oval Office. For starters, he could reinstate the Mexico City Policy to ensure that federally-funded international nongovernmental organizations do not perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning.

He can rescind President Obama's executive order allowing human embryonic stem cell research. And he can strengthen the prohibition on so-called "3-parent embryos."

Bush ran into criticism after he prohibited some of that cell research.

What we know, is that the pro-life side often has to be content with small steps.
