Donald Trump, a man I am certain has never paid or asked someone to abort a fetus he helped put inside them, proposed last week to withhold federal Title X grant funds from healthcare providers that offer abortions or abortion referrals. The so-called domestic gag rule would financially punish places like Planned Parenthood that provide abortions and other health services. It would also make it difficult for many women and other marginalized genders, especially those with low income, to obtain abortions, birth control, and other necessary care. Trump, who has been loudly “Pro-Life” for all of maybe three years now, and anti-woman for decades, is immensely pleased with himself.
The president was the key note speaker at a gala for anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List on Tuesday night, where he championed the domestic gag rule and his anti-abortion administration. “When I ran for office, I pledged to stand for life, and as president, that’s exactly what I have done and I have kept my promise and I think everybody here understands that totally,” he said. He also pointed out that a significant portion of the government now comprises anti-abortion representatives, which is a super fun thing to think about in the middle of the night:
