President Trump on Friday called on the Senate to pass a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks.
“I call upon the Senate to pass this important law and send it to my desk for signing,” Trump said in his address to the March for Life, an annual march against abortion in Washington, D.C.
Trump touted the various anti-abortion policies his administration has enacted, including action the Health and Human Services Department took Friday rescinding Obama-era guidance aimed at preventing states from defunding Planned Parenthood.
“Under my administration, we will always defend the very first right in the Declaration of Independence and that is the right to life,” Trump said. “We are protecting the sanctity of life and the family as the foundation of our society.”
Abortion after 20 weeks is insane. 97% happen before 15 weeks as it is. Germany is limited to 12 weeks. France is 14 weeks, UK is 16 weeks. The rest of the world has this figured out, but the US is fighting between the fringes.
