Mexico City Policy Reinstated
President Trump also signed an executive order reestablishing the Mexico City Policy, blocking American taxpayer dollars from funding abortions abroad through foreign aid. This was a GREAT move by President Trump to ensure American taxpayers do NOT fund the killing of babies overseas!
Military Abortion Travel Policy Rescinded
President Trump through the Department of Defense officially announced this past week that military coverage for abortion travel, which President Biden had instituted, has been revoked. This is an important step to ensure our military works to protect the American people, not kill them through abortion.

WHAT STILL NEEDS TO HAPPEN…
While we celebrate these wins, we must call on our leaders and do everything we can in our personal activism to ensure ALL preborn babies are protected during every stage of fetal development.
Join Live Action in calling on President Trump to:
Defund Planned Parenthood
Instruct the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ensure Planned Parenthood is stripped of all federal funding by issuing guidance that blocks Medicaid and Title X funds from going to abortion providers.

Planned Parenthood destroys parenthood. Thank you for joining us to expose the truth.
Other pro-life actions the Trump Administration needs to take:
Curtail the Deadly Abortion Pill
President Trump must direct the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to revoke the approval of the abortion pill and enforce restrictions on its distribution. He must immediately rescind the 2021 and 2023 Biden Admin updates to mifepristone’s Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS), which allowed mail-order distribution and removed in-person dispensing requirements.
Guttmacher’s 2023 data on the abortion pill specifically reveals 642,700 chemical abortions occurring that year. This means 53,558 chemical abortions monthly, 1,761 daily, 73 hourly, and one every 49 seconds in 2023 alone.
Additionally, published percentages show up to 4.6% of women who take the abortion pill end up in the emergency room, which translates to an estimated tens of thousands per year. Up to 7% need surgery due to complications. Contrary to the abortion industry’s claims, abortion is not safe for babies or women.
We will continue to work toward equal protection for all and abolishing abortion at the federal level, and we implore President Trump to support the Life at Conception Act currently filed in the U.S. House of Representatives.
John, it’s clear we have much work left to do. Join me in rejoicing in the recent pro-life victories and allowing them to instill momentum in our determination to keep going in the fight for life. Preborn babies, mothers, fathers, and families depend on us to persevere.
