“President Trump has a legacy of leading on LIFE and of keeping the promises he made to all Americans, including the Pro-Life community. We call upon President Trump to offer a new and bold pro-life vision that protects women and their children, born and preborn, in law and in service,” said SFLAction’s Kristan Hawkins. “If we‘ve learned anything from President Biden, it’s just how federal an issue abortion really is. Reversing Biden’s agenda is a great place to start.”

MIAMI, FL (11-8-2023) – Students for Life Action (SFLAction) will be in the sunshine state to hold a peaceful event at Ted Hendricks Stadium – the site where former President Donald Trump will host his own rally and counter-event to the Republican Primary debate happening across town – at 6:00pm. The goal: to “Make Trump Pro-Life Again” and encourage renewed advocacy on the human rights issue of the day – abortion. SFLAction will also be monitoring the GOP debate, available for comment.
Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins made the following statement: “For the first time in almost 50 years, Americans are engaging on the issue of abortion, and milquetoast approaches to core issues like the defense of preborn life, will only result in losses,” said Hawkins. “We’ve seen that bold, unapologetic defenses of life can win elections – and bolster the political influence of those who champion the lives of the preborn.
“Today, as the other candidates take the debate stage, we ask President Trump to move forward with encouragement from pro-life voters who are looking for a champion on their behalf.”
In her previous open letter to President Trump, SFLAction President Kristan Hawkins said “the pro-life vote is up for grabs, and as our challenge letter to all the GOP candidates shows, a generation of new voters is looking for leadership as we must stop the Democrats’ extreme and dangerous abortion-in-all-nine-months and taxpayer-funded abortion agenda in 2024.”
We also provided five suggestions to help create a culture of life:
- Publicly support services and support for young families, for mothers and their children – born and preborn with policies like paid family leave, accommodations on college campuses to allow pregnant and parenting students the freedom to finish their education that our own Standing With You helps inspire, and free care for women giving birth.
- Talk about the science of Life – the unique and irreplaceable new human being with unlimited potential that each member of the human species is at the moment their conception. The Pro-Life Generation rejects prejudice against people based on sex, race, age, stage of development, parental income, perceptions of abilities, or the events conception. The value of a Life is not something to be voted on but to be understood, protected, and empowered.
- Detail the abortion extremism of the Democratic Party, that supports abortion up to birth through the Women’s Health Protection Act, and even infanticide, in opposing medical care required in the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Act.
- Debunk the false narrative that abortion empowers minority communities, which lose a disproportionate number of their families to abortion, as Planned Parenthood and others target their communities by the presence of abortion vendor operations and their political pushes. Don’t ignore the pattern of racism in Planned Parenthood’s past, present, and future, with their emphasis on ending minority lives by abortion.
- Lead in working for pro-life laws as soon as possible, as early as possible. The economics alone of an increasingly aging America without sufficient support is reason enough to engage in family friendly policies that help parents invest in our nation’s future.

Our own You Gov/Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement polling has shown that heartbeat abortion limits and limits when a baby can feel pain poll at basically the same levels. However, the limit at heartbeat will save more lives as more than 9 in 10 abortions take place by 12 weeks.
A separate Gallup poll reported that 1 in 4 Americans consider abortion a key issue in voting – and as Gallup noted: ‘Those who consider themselves pro-life are significantly more likely than their pro-choice counterparts to say they will vote only for a candidate who shares their views on abortion.’
