Trump’s Pro-Lifer Pardon Alone Makes Voting For Him Worth It
Jordan Boyd
A mere four days into his second term, President Donald Trump made every single pro-lifers’ vote for him worth it by pardoning 23 people the Biden administration targeted for their peaceful opposition to abortion.
Trump’s Thursday afternoon executive order effectively nullified the Biden administration’s attempt to weaponize itself against mostly Christian activists who spent their time praying, worshipping, and evangelizing at abortion facilities across the nation. It also proved that all of the moaning, groaning, and grandstanding from “principled” pro-lifers about Trump betraying their base was completely unfounded and unwarranted.
It is true that Trump’s personal position on abortion is, at best, ambiguous. It was his mixed messaging on life in the womb that earned him the ire of several high-profile pro-life advocates and organizations ahead of the 2024 election. Some threatened to commit political suicide by withholding votes from Trump, while others twisted themselves in knots to justify siding with the most extreme candidate on abortion this country has ever seen.
The coordinated campaign from conservatives who care about life in the womb to punish Trump was astounding considering the alternative. A nation with Kamala Harris instead of Trump at the helm would have not only guaranteed full prison time for people like Lauren Handy and Paulette Harlow, but promised partisan prosecutions of other pro-lifers for years to come.
