President Trump will round out his first 100 days in the Oval Office at the end of the week. He’s already taken heat from the media and his critics about a lack of accomplishments, which is unfair and inaccurate.
For conservatives and the pro-life movement, if the election had gone the other way, these first 100 days would be the start of a very long nightmare.
There would be no pro-life attorney general and secretary of health and human services.
Taxpayers would still be funding international abortion groups.
A Supreme Court justice in the mold of pro-abortion Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg would have been seated on the bench.
Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards and all her friends would have staffed the West Wing and Oval Office, instead of pro-lifers like Kellyanne Conway and Vice President Mike Pence.
Trump has sought to fulfill campaign promises and is off to a great start when it comes to delivering on big promises like a constitutionalist Supreme Court nominee, pro-life members of the Cabinet, and re-instating the Mexico City policy.
There is still a lot to do, the biggest prize being the defunding of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion vendor that is somehow still receiving more than $500 million a year from taxpayers, despite being criminally referred for prosecution by committees in both the House and Senate.
While much emphasis has been put on the first 100 days of the administration, in reality, it’s just the beginning of the presidency. Based on his track record thus far, we look forward to Trump fulfilling his additional commitments — starting with defunding Planned Parenthood.
