It’s been less than a month since President Donald Trump took office for his second term, and he’s already racked up numerous wins for the pro-life movement. While there’s plenty more on our to-do list for Trump, Students for Life Action (SFLAction) can’t help but celebrate the enormous number of wins in such a short period of time, getting us one step close to truly Making America Pro-Life Again.
So, where do we even start? It’s only been and little over three weeks and Trump delivered eight astounding pro-life wins:
Trump wiped “reproductive health/abortion” White House webpage.
Almost immediately after taking office, the “reproductive health/abortion” webpage on the White House website was removed. Coincidence? Most likely not. The Daily Beast surmises it could be connected to executive order called “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”
This is also no surprise, given his strong actions against gender ideology, which we’ll cover later.
The Pentagon stopped all taxpayer-funded military abortion travel.
Trump’s Pentagon put an end to the Biden Administration’s policy that covered service members’ abortion travel costs, including their dependents. After all, our military should be protecting our country, not funding the death of future citizens.
Trump pardoned 23 pro-life political prisoners from jail.
The day before the National Pro-Life March in Washington, D.C., Trump signed an executive order pardoning the pro-life prisoners prosecuted by former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) for violating the Clinton-era FACE Act for praying outside abortion vendors.
According to the Thomas More Society, they represented in court 21 of the 23 pro-lifers pardoned by Trump after being wrongfully imprisoned by former President Joe Biden’s DOJ:
Joan Bell, Coleman Boyd, Joel Curry, Jonathan Darnel, Eva Edl, Chester Gallagher, William Goodman, Dennis Green, Lauren Handy, Paulette Harlow, John Hinshaw, Heather Idoni, Jean Marshall, Fr. Fidelis Moscinski, Justin Phillips, Paul Place, Paul Vaughn, Bevelyn Beatty Williams, Calvin Zastrow, Eva Zastrow, and James Zastrow.
Additionally, Trump also pardoned Herb Geraghty, an SFLA alum.
Trump reinstated the Mexico City policy.
Taxpayers already fund too much abortion in the United States (“too much” means ALL abortion), so why should we fund other countries’ abortions? Biden didn’t care when he rescinded the Mexico City policy in 2021. Fast forward to 2025 and Trump’s reinstating of the Mexico City policy prevents our taxpayer dollars from funding abortions in other countries.
Trump signed an executive order enforcing the Hyde Amendment.
Trump signed an executive order declaring that the Hyde Amendment should be enforced, meaning, according to Trump’s order, that “…the previous administration disregarded this established, commonsense policy by embedding forced taxpayer funding of elective abortions in a wide variety of Federal programs. It is the policy of the United States, consistent with the Hyde Amendment, to end the forced use of Federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion.”
Trump reestablished “male and female” federally, protecting women and children from transgenderism and bodily and chemical mutilation.
Being “pro-life” means protecting those inside the womb, but also the vulnerable children already born. Fighting the mutilation of our children through chemical or bodily castration is one of the greatest ways we can protect children. Trump seems to be completely on board. Take a look:
- Trump signed an executive order declaring there are only two genders: male and female.
- Trump ordered federal women’s prisons to be ACTUALLY “women’s prisons,” forcing biological males out. Despite a judge temporarily blocking him, Trump’s commitment to do the right and moral thing is still winning out.
- Trump signed an executive order to keep men out of women’s sports.
- Trump signed an executive order protecting children under 19 years of age from bodily and chemical mutilation due to transgender ideology.
Trump put forth nominees the pro-life movement can work with.
Let’s also not forget the confirmation hearings filled with pro-life promises.
Secretary of Health and Humans Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promised to do the following during his confirmation hearings:
- End fetal stem cell research.
- End late-term abortions.
- Investigate the safety of Chemical Abortion Pills.
- Appoint pro-life leaders to HHS.
- Protect conscience exemptions for pro-life doctors.
- End federal funding for abortions, both domestic and abroad
- RFK Jr. also affirmed “every abortion a tragedy,” saying, “We cannot be a moral nation with 1.2 million abortions a year.”

Before U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi was confirmed, she pledged to end the weaponization of the FACE Act during her confirmation hearing.
After her confirmation in a meeting with Louisiana Gov. Landry, who’s state is prosecuting a New York abortionist for allegedly selling Chemical Abortion Pills to a Louisiana mom to reportedly force on her underaged daughter, Pam Bondi gave the nod to tough penalties for those who traffic Chemical Abortion Pills.
Additionally, FBI director nominee Kash Patel promised to end targeting of pro-life Americans.
Honorable pro-life mentions.
While not necessarily tied directly to Trump, we can’t help but acknowledge pro-life wins on the government level, such as the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) website now prompts the search term “adoption” when visitors look up “abortion.” In the social media world, Meta reportedly “shadow banned” accounts for allegedly selling illegal Chemical Abortion Pills, another sign that nature is truly healing.
Trump has plenty more work to do with the pro-life movement, but with everything he’s done in the last three weeks, imagine what he can do with the rest of his presidency (hint: debar and defund Planned Parenthood).
While we’re exhausted from the wins, we certainly aren’t tired of them. The Pro-Life Generation (PLG) is ready for more.
