Dear Colleague,

It is often said that elections have consequences. Just as the previous administration took unprecedented steps to defend human life in the international context, the Biden administration is working tirelessly to undo those actions and position the U.S. to be a global pro-abortion leader. 

In this Definitions, Lisa Correnti and I examine President Biden's first hundred days in office in the context of the international debate around abortion and other social issues, including with regard to the U.S.'s engagement at the UN and as a leading global health donor.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Oas, Ph.D.

Never before in the history of the United States has an executive in chief sought to establish the country as the world’s abortion provider. In just his first hundred days as President, Joe Biden has acted in sharp opposition to the position of the Catholic Church, in which his membership was a major part of his political identity for decades, by instituting executive actions, guiding multilateral policy and bilateral assistance creating the impetus that will contribute to ending the lives of unborn children around the world courtesy of the American people.  This Definitions examines the actions taken by the Biden administration in its first hundred days as they pertain to the international abortion debate, and consider how they can help to predict what is yet to come in the remainder of his term. Read More >>>
