As dramatic as Trump’s possible pro-life enlightenment may sound, it has happened in the Oval Office once before.
In his first weeks as president, Donald J. Trump dove right in and took some significant pro-life actions. He started by signing the Mexico City Policy, which prevents federal money from funding out-of-country abortions. He pardoned jailed pro-lifers and released them from prison. He removed Biden’s pro-abortion government website. He penned an executive order declaring that life begins at conception. And he enforced the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funds from paying for domestic abortions.

He has a long way to go in the defense of preborn babies, as he still advocates for a 15-week abortion ban and for in vitro fertilization. These actions fly in the face of his acknowledgment — and the truth — that life begins at conception, and they imply that the less mature and younger preborn babies do not have the same value as their older preborn peers.
We hope and pray that President Trump will come to understand the humanity of every preborn child. This is not a baseless, unlikely, or far-fetched hope. As dramatic as Trump’s possible enlightenment may sound, it has happened in the Oval Office once before. […]
