President Donald Trump yesterday signed an executive order to defund International Planned Parenthood. Many pro-life Americans are waiting Congress to pass the bill to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion. While that defunding legislation impacts the Planned Parenthood abortion organization, President Trump has the ability to put in place an executive order that would cut its funding.  Pro-choice former President Barack Obama when in office took away a policy that prevented funding of groups that allowed abortions.

The pro-life policy had been in place during the entirety of the Bush administration and Obama on his first week in office removed it. However Trump now in office brought back the pro-life views and many who are pro-choice with upset in this executive order.

“President Trump’s immediate action to promote respect for all human life, including vulnerable unborn children abroad, as well as conscience rights, sends a strong signal about his Administration’s pro-life priorities.”- LifeNews.com Interviewer
