Donald Trump issued a “Dear Pro-Life Leader” letter in September. “As we head into the final stretch of the campaign, the help of leaders like you is essential to ensure that pro-life voters know where I stand,” he said. And he was specific about what “I am committed to.”

It consists of four things. He promised to nominate “pro-life justices” to the Supreme Court. He will sign a law ending “painful late-term abortions nationwide.” He will stop federal funding of Planned Parenthood “as long as they continue to perform abortions.” He intends to make permanent the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funding of abortions.
