A leading pro-life group has issued an endorsement for Donald Trump for president, saying he accomplished more than any other president on the pro-life front to protect babies from abortions.
Operation Rescue informed LifeNews that it has enthusiastically endorsed Trump for the Republican nomination to face pro-abortion Joe Biden.
“We recognize that during President Trump’s first administration, he accomplished more to protect innocent babies from abortion than any other president in American history,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “His administration was committed to policies that reflected the sanctity of life. President Trump is a promise keeper. In fact, he went beyond his promises to protect babies from the heinous practice of abortion, and he will do so again if elected.”
Newman told LifeNews that he is calling on other pro-life groups to follow his lead.
“President Trump has earned our support. His strong pro-life record speaks for itself. We must now work together in unity to halt the radical abortion expansion agenda of the corrupt Biden/Harris regime, which threatens to encode abortion on demand throughout all nine months of pregnancy and force it upon every state as the supreme law of the land,” said Newman. “As our forty-seventh president, Trump will collaborate with us to end the inhumane and barbaric practice of abortion.”

Newman submitted a list of what h said were Trump’s best pro-life accomplishments as president.
President Trump’s First Term Pro-Life Accomplishments
1. Appointed Supreme Court Justices that overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which decriminalized abortion in America – a historic decision that has so far resulted in 14 Abortion Free States.
2. Appointed over three hundred conservative judges to the Federal Bench, which are now upholding pro-life laws.
3. Halted international funding of abortions.
4. Stripped Planned Parenthood of millions in Title X grants – funding that the radical Biden Administration has now restored and will continue to increase.
5. Allowed states to withhold Medicaid money from abortion businesses.
6. Defunded the pro-abortion United Nations Population Fund and its depopulation agenda.
7. Defunded the pro-abortion World Health Organization.
8. Signed the Pro-Life Geneva Consensus Declaration in 2020, establishing better health for women, protecting human life, and strengthening the family.
9. Protected babies born alive during abortions.
10. Stopped funding experiments with aborted baby parts.
11. Created the Office for Conscience Protections, which provided stronger civil rights for health care workers who decline to participate in abortions.
12. Opposed internet censorship, which has stifled pro-life viewpoints.
In the recent first-in-the-nation primary, Trump emerged victorious, securing a win over former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley by a margin of approximately nine points. That victory followed Trump’s earlier success in the Iowa caucus, where he received 51% of the vote.
The next contest is in Haley’s home state of South Carolina on Feb. 24, where she currently trails the former president by 30.2 points in the RealClearPolitics (RCP) average. Prominent Republicans in the state, including Gov. Henry McMaster and Sens. Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, have all endorsed Trump.
If the race winds up as Trump versus Joe Biden, it will be a stark contrast on abortion.
In recent comments, Trump said Democrats are the real radicals on abortion because they support abortions up to birth.
“And remember this, they are the radicals. We are not the radicals. Because they will kill a baby,” Trump said.
“But, in the debate with Hilary Clinton, I said, you know, she is willing to rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month. And you know, I never heard this — it happened to me. It just came to me during that debate. I didn’t go up there thinking I was going to say that. And she even winced. Nobody wants to see that happening after a certain period of time, nobody. They are the radicals because they are willing to kill the baby in eight months, nine months, or even after birth,” he explained.
“If you remember, the former governor of Virginia where he said, you kill the baby after the ninth month or even after you’ve set the baby aside and you have a conversation with the mother. And if the conversation, can you image — but these are the radicals. We are not the radicals. We are not the radicals. But we are living in a time when there has to be a little bit of a concession, one way or another,” he added.
What is Joe Biden’s priority if he is re-elected to a second term as president?
It’s not improving the beleaguered economy, putting a clamp on runaway inflation, improving education or securing the border. No, Biden’s main priority is making sure more babies are killed in abortions.
“First of all: Roe,” Biden’s deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks said Sunday during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Roe means desperately attempting to codify the infamous Supreme Court decision that resulted in killing more than 64 million babies killed in abortions before the Supreme Court finally overturned the poorly-reasoned case in June 2022.
“The president has been adamant that we need to restore Roe. It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Fulks said.
The statement is absurd on its face, because Roe and abortion themselves deprive women of their rights by erasing the right to life. And girls (and boys) killed in abortions lose that fundamental right under abortion and subsequently can’t enjoy any other right or freedom throughout their entire lives because their very lives have been erased.
However, Biden compares abortion to health care.
“No woman should be forced to go to court or flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs,” Biden said of the case. “But that is exactly what happened in Texas thanks to Republican elected officials, and it is simply outrageous. This should never happen in America, period.”
Yet courts have made it clear that abortion is not legitimate health care and that Biden can’t force emergency rooms and ER doctors to kill babies in abortions when they are focused on providing legitimate emergency medical care for pregnant women.
As LifeNews reported, the Supreme Court has ruled that Joe Biden can’t force Idaho to turn its emergency rooms into abortion centers – for now while the case continues. The decision follows on a federal appeals court ruling this week stopping Biden from doing the same thing in Texas.
