Anti-abortion leaders across America were elated when Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to appear at the March for Life last year. Now, the mood is sober after Trump has been replaced by Joe Biden, a supporter of abortion rights.

FILE - In this Jan. 24, 2020, file photo, supporters cheer as President Donald Trump speaks during the annual "March for Life" rally on the National Mall, in Washington. Anti-abortion leaders across America were elated a year ago when Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to appear in person at their highest-profile annual event, the March for Life held every January.

On Friday, the 48th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision establishing a nationwide right to abortion, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris said they would seek to enshrine that right into federal law to protect it from court challenges. “I am very optimistic.” said Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee. “We’ll see a lot of new pro-life bills... and we are going to see judges who are open to them.”In Arkansas, a new bill would criminalize abortions except to save a pregnant woman’s life. The measure declares: “It is time for the United States Supreme Court to redress and correct the grave injustice and the crime against humanity which is being perpetuated by its decisions in Roe v.

Referring to anti-abortion lawmakers, Nash said, “They see the Supreme Court as being in their corner, and it’s their job to continue to pass restrictions and bans.” Biden, a longtime supporter of the amendment, reversed himself in 2019 and now favors its repeal. But prospects for repeal are uncertain, given that Democrats would need some Republican votes in the Senate to overcome a potential filibuster.

How many of the young girls he raped had to have an abortion

Ignorant people, made so by irresponsibli, incompetent media. Doctors are licensed by the States & if they choose they can prohibit doctors from performing abortions. Notwithstanding ANY court decision abortion is the purviiew5 of the state; a fact a responsible press make clear.

Obviously, they didn't care about migrant children who died because of this monster's cruelty, or his own vile record (which includes paying for at least one abortion). Spare us the woes over this morally bankrupt bunch.

If you don’t like abortion, don’t have one!!!

Christians can believe that abortion is wrong. We shouldn't be trying to force others to be Christians. It's hard to have relationships with non-Christians when they see us focusing on things like this, especially when our actions are hurting them or their loved ones. (1 of 2)

Didn’t the Trump admin go on a killing spree in the last few months?

It’s primarily anti choice- anti choice legislation deprives a sentient adult women of self determination. Anyone in favor of anti choice legislation is either ignorant of biology, ignorant of conditions pre Roe v Wade, or a religious extremist or some combination of all.

It'll be interesting to see what a proactive approach to preventing abortions (education, healthcare, access, etc.) instead of a reactive one (ban, punish women, restrict birth control) will accomplish. Instead of making them illegal, we need to strive make them unnecessary.

Being pro-choice doesn’t mean you’re pro-abortion. There are many against abortion, but don’t believe in legislating what a woman chooses to do with her body. Why don’t people understand that?

These bit*ches need to learn to take care of their own children first.

Being pro-choice is not being pro-abortion. It is giving women their own voices. Are these the same people who turned their backs on kids in cages, being separated from their families and complicit of the cops being bashed by Blue Live Matter flags during the insurrection?

There is no medical basis for being anti-abortion aside from maybe low birth rates and possible risk to future fertility. But if the patient gave informed consent then ppl should mind their own business. Allowing the courts to make a decision based on religion is a bad precedent.

In his 4 years, Trump didn't push that agenda very much. Only Pence and others. Why? 'Cause he didn't care. Not his problem.

Trump was there for votes, not ideology. No telling how many abortions he had paid for.

Except Dema actually support pregnancy prevention programs that actually DO reduce abortion rates. The GOP does nothing other than strip money from programs that support pre- and post-birth assistance.

If these folks were pro-life then they would be pro-health care for all. Since thousands of children die per year in the USA because they don't have quality health care.

Look abortion is based on personal beliefs that is what pro-choice is. Also it's none of your business why a pregnancy ended. Its not always the slutty girl avoiding responsibility thing. But it's still none of your business.

Maybe, just maybe, they should look at a bigger picture. As with almost any big issue, it’s more than yes or no. Find answers-hold men equally financially liable for all pregnancies; let women/dr decide when it’s about the woman’s health; support adoption financially; many more.

always amazed that they don’t care about supporting the unwanted and underserved children.

A study of the history of abortion is perhaps a must to understand the dilemma confronting politicians 🤔 to some a moral abomination ... to others freedom of choice which would otherwise mean great suffering at the hands of back streets abortionists 😢

The right by a woman to make a choice on her emotional, physical and financial well being sadly escapes many women and some men.

I was told by his Very Honest and Mature press sec that Crime Bill Biden was a devout Catholic though.

Young reporters trying to make a name are flooding us with 'whataboutisms'. Eg. We've vaccinated a million against covid; Yeah but what about all the other diseases?' Just stop.

The entire 'Right to Life' crowd has been remarkably quiet as more than 400,000 people have died. You'd think this would have bothered them enough to say something.

let the chile detemine his/her own sexuality? You gotta kidding me! If it works, then a 8 yo child should have the right to register and get a gun, at least. And alcoholic age? Come On.

❤️❤️❤️

Just hilarious that these sheep think Trump is pro-life. If there was ever a person that you knew had demanded a woman have an abortion some time in their life, it’s Trump.

How do you know? The victory in abortion will be the day of defiance. She’ll tell the jerk to see to it himself.

Instead of protesting; why not adopt these unwanted children and give them a home and a better life.

In reality you can't honestly say Past PresidentTrump is 'Pro Life.' Unless you have your head in the sand, the death of 414,000 Americans loudly beggs to differ!

No one can pretend to be “pro life” who endorsed Trump AFTER what he did for the covid pandemic. Hundreds of thousands of living, breathing, thinking, feeling, sentient human beings are dead because of him and his enablers.

This lady can go back to hell...

But if you ask them to wear a mask or get a vaccine, it's all, my body my choice.

What’s the over/under on how many comments before a holy roller shows up?

Maybe they should start worrying about something besides someone else's uterus then.

Gosh, these sanctimonious asshats are disappointed that they can't control a woman and her reproduction rights. 🙄🙄. Tfb

Most of them are not pro life they are just pro birth hypocrisy

This issue by itself has to account for a huge portion of Republican votes.

So Joe Bidem is in favor of killing babies! Ain’t no news there!

Hypocrisy they are not wearing mask because it's their body their choice . It's ok to spread a deadly disease.

“Not your body, not your choice”

Anti women’s rights

trump isn't pro-life.

I like that a president who is Catholic knows he has no right to push his beliefs on others

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌✨

Call them what they are “pro birth”

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✨

Biden calls himself a devout Catholic while supporting abortion. That's like calling yourself a devout Muslim who loves pork chops....

Elections have consequences.

Oh my gosh I’m so sorry women should be able to make decisions for their own body.. notsorry FOH

abortionismurder

Too bad...because it is the women’s body and her choice.

New headline. “A thing that obviously was going to happen, happened.”

Too fucken bad, huh?

Poor Republicans abort the most babies. 🤷‍♂️
