The following information is not for the purpose of endorsing any political party or candidate. It is intended to educate readers on the many ways America’s last two presidents have dealt with the abortion issue.
Conscience Rights
President Trump put into place a rule that would protect medical professionals who refuse to participate in proving abortions. The rule clarified that the Affordable Care Act’s (Obamacare) federal definition of sex discrimination does not include abortion.
President Biden attempted to reverse this rule but decided not to appeal an adverse ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that protects medical professionals from performing procedures that violate their beliefs.
The same ruling that protects them from being forced to perform gender surgeries will also protect them from being forced to perform abortions.
White House Activities
President Trump hosted an event featuring Melissa Ohden who survived a late-term abortion intended to end her life, Katie Shaw, a pro-life advocate who has Down syndrome, Micah Pickering, born at just 22 weeks into pregnancy, and Katharine Alexander, adopted after being born opioid-dependent.
President Biden hosted a black-tie dinner honoring Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for signing legislation that legalized abortion until birth and rolled back all existing pro-life laws, one of which was a law protecting newborns who survive late-term abortions.
Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, personally called abortionists and thanked them for performing abortions.
Funding Planned Parenthood
President Trump undertook five efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, some were successful.
President Biden signed executive orders reinstating tax funding to Planned Parenthood.
U.S. Supreme Court Justices
President Trump nominated, and the U.S. Senate confirmed, three Justices who voted to reverse Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
