President Trumps administration is delivering for social conservatives, who are thrilled by the gains theyve seen on their core issues of abortion and religious freedom.
Through court appointments, administrative staffing, executive orders and agency guidance, Trumps presidency has been a triumph for the religious right.
He was a wild card, for sure, but we feel completely vindicated, said Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women for America. Trump has been courageous in ways other Republicans, including George W. Bush, have never been. Who knew that a billionaire playboy from Manhattan would be the most pro-life president in history?
Many social and religious conservatives view the last week as a watershed moment.

It could well work.

(5,801 posts)Most "pro-fetus" president in history. Least "Pro-Actual-Human-Being" president in history, if you count the number of people that will die because of bad health policy, bad environmental policy, and the wars he's itching to get us into.
Another phony x-tian. Jesus weeps.

(14,173 posts)Uh...that's because he is NOT "the most pro-life president in history". Its never been an issue for him before he decided to run for President. He is using you'all because he knows that evangelicals are the most susceptible to the Pavlovian response and will fall for anything. If they can convince themselves that a giant invisible old man in a beard is floating up there and that the USA is His favorite country in the whole world, they can be convinced of anything.

These laws and blocks to funding only affect women without means.
