WASHINGTON — National Right to Life, the federation of right-to-life affiliates in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, over 3,000 local chapters, and millions of grassroots supporters, announced its endorsement of President Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential race.

“National Right to Life is pleased to endorse Donald J. Trump for President. In his first term, President Trump demonstrated extraordinary leadership and delivered historic results on behalf of vulnerable unborn children and their mothers,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Thanks to President Trump, the American people and their elected representatives on the state and federal levels now have greater authority to determine abortion policy and pass meaningful protections for unborn children and their mothers.”

Throughout his time in office, President Trump championed policies designed to safeguard the lives of both unborn children and their mothers from unlimited abortions.

Along with a consistent majority of Americans, President Trump opposes using tax dollars to pay for abortions. In 2017, Trump issued a statement of support for the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, a bill that would bar taxpayer funding for abortions on a government-wide basis with exceptions for when the life of the mother is at risk or in cases of rape, incest, or medical emergency.

As one of his first actions as president in 2017, President Trump reinstated the Mexico City Policy to halt the flow of American tax dollars to organizations that perform or promote abortions overseas. He later expanded this policy as the “Protecting Life in Global Health Policy” to prevent $9 billion in foreign aid from being used to fund the global abortion industry.

President Trump supports the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would ensure that an infant born alive during an abortion attempt is afforded the same degree of medical care as any other infant born at the same gestational age.

President Trump opposes the so-called Women’s Health Protection Act, also referred to as the “Abortion Without Limits Until Birth Act,” an extreme bill pushed by Democrats that would enshrine unlimited abortion in federal law and policies and tear down virtually all protections for unborn children and their mothers on the state level including laws requiring parental involvement before an abortion is performed on a minor.

President Trump is committed to filling judicial vacancies with qualified individuals who will interpret the Constitution based on its text and history, and otherwise leave policy questions in the hands of elected legislators.

In contrast, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have employed a relentless, whole-of-government approach in their efforts to bring unlimited abortion to every state. In a second term, Biden and Harris have made it no secret that they plan to institute a radical, nationwide policy that will allow unlimited abortions for any reason until birth and use taxpayer dollars to fund abortions, even as a means of birth control.

“For years, President Trump has given a voice to many Americans who felt their concerns were not heard and their needs not met, including millions of Americans who want to see greater protections for unborn children and greater help for women and families facing unexpected pregnancies,” said Tobias. “We look forward to defeating the pro-abortion Biden-Harris ticket and working with President Trump to build an America that truly respects life at every stage.”

Recognized as the flagship of the pro-life movement, National Right to Life works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide and euthanasia.

WASHINGTON—In Wisconsin kicking off a White House tour to promote unlimited abortion, Vice President Kamala Harris pushed the extreme pro-abortion position of the Biden-Harris Administration and the Democratic Party.

“The Biden-Harris Administration supports a policy of unlimited abortion, meaning abortion anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstances,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris see the lives of precious preborn babies as expendable.”

Continued Tobias, “The vice president’s propaganda tour to promote unlimited abortion is just another way this administration shows its callous disregard for precious human life.”

The Biden-Harris Administration has prioritized a radical abortion agenda: unlimited abortions for any reason, even as a method of family planning and even late in pregnancy—right up until birth—and using tax dollars to pay for it. This Administration has employed a whole-of-government approach to promoting abortion, using every lever of power at its disposal to make abortions more available and more common, with no thought of the innocent unborn children who would die.

“This administration continues to pour all of its efforts into promoting unlimited abortion, even late in pregnancy,” said Tobias. “The Biden-Harris White House is the most pro-abortion White House in American history.”

WASHINGTON — The following statement can be attributed to Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life:

As thousands march today in support of the right to life, we enter the second full year following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs. Our work to protect those threatened by abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, and assisted suicide from those who would devalue human life has never been more important. Pro-life Americans need to boldly proclaim the right to life and say, “Enough is enough” to the pro-abortion wish list put forward by pro-abortion groups, the pro-abortion strategies pushed by pro-abortion apologists and legislators, and the pro-abortion policies promoted by the pro-abortion Biden White House.

The pro-life movement has faced tremendous challenges but the right to life is more than an idea. Life is our most fundamental human right and, every day, dedicated heroes volunteer their time and talents to tirelessly meet the needs of mothers and their pre-born children. 

Now, more than ever, we must stand together for life.

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, the Department of Health and Human Services rescinded, in part, a 2019 Trump-era rule that protected the conscience rights of healthcare workers. The Trump-era rule, if implemented, would have given healthcare workers the ability to seek meaningful recourse if they were forced to violate their ethical and religious beliefs.

If a healthcare provider refuses to participate in abortion or assisted suicide, the only recourse is to file a complaint with President Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services. The Biden rule change is likely to leave people more vulnerable to being forced to participate in procedures that violate their conscience.

The following is a statement from Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life, regarding today’s actions:

President Biden is once again showing his allegiance to pro-abortion groups and their demands. His administration is willing to trample on the rights of millions of healthcare workers by changing a rule designed to protect them from having to perform abortions against their religious or ethical convictions. 

This administration has been more than willing to comply with the demands of pro-abortion groups and their allies.
