I have not posted in a while because we have been busy promoting a change in the Federal administration to one that is more pro-life. After the election of Donald Trump, we have been pushing for attendance by larger crowds than ever at the Texas Rally for Life in Austin. As we now turn our attention from the inspiring speakers at the National March for Life in Washington, DC, and the Texas Rally for Life in Austin, let us also celebrate Trump’s recent pro-life executive orders.
Many of us saw the speakers at the National March for Life via EWTN television on January 24 and therefore heard comments by President Trump and Veep Vance. The Texas Rally for Life was livestreamed from the web site after the March for Life on January 25, and I supply below a link for those who missed it in real time by which one can see and hear comments by the speakers.

However, Trump was concurrently very busy fulfilling his own pro-life agenda, which received virtually no media attention. Indeed, Trump has been all over the map attending to so many urgent matters that the media, with their limited time segments, have not been able to keep up.
Therefore, I am posting the link below to a report that Trump has:
1. Reinstated the Mexico City policy
2. Ordered the Hyde Amendment to be enforced
3. Pardoned 23 pro-life activists convicted of civil disobedience
4. Affirmed that the DOJ will bring no more cases under the FACE Act except under “extraordinary circumstances”

Please note that #1 and #2 need to be encoded in law by Congress so the policies cannot be reversed again by future presidents except through an act of Congress. Those who have read my book know the history of abortion well (through 2020, when the book was published). This includes remote antiquity as well as modern day political turmoil.

For those interested, I also give a lecture on the future of the Pro-Life movement, which fills the gap following the Dobbs decision in June 2022. If there is an entity that would like for me to speak on this subject, please provide my contact information.
In the meantime, let us support legislative action to encode the Mexico City Policy and the Hyde Amendment into law. I hope pro-life legislators will also address the issues I address in my lectures so our society will honor motherhood and ensure that every pregnant woman retains all of the advantages in society that non-pregnant women enjoy.
