On March for Life Week, Trump and Congress Take Steps to Defend Life
Melanie Israel / @Melanie_Israel / January 27, 2017
This was a big week for the pro-life community.
President Donald Trump and the House of Representatives started the week by taking action to defend life and ensure that taxpayer dollars are not entangled with abortion, both at home and abroad. Then on Friday, tens of thousands of Americans converged on Washington, D.C., for the 44th annual March for Life.
On Monday, Trump reinstated the life-affirming Mexico City policy, which ensures that American taxpayers do not fund international organizations that perform or promote abortions. Since 1984, this policy has been enforced by every Republican president and rescinded by every Democratic president.
Trump’s recently published presidential memorandum indicates that not only is he reinstating the Mexico City policy, he is strengthening it.
As explained by The Daily Signal, it is long-standing policy for the United States to prohibit funding for abortion in international programs.
Without the Mexico City policy, abortion giants like the International Planned Parenthood Federation are eligible to receive millions of taxpayer dollars designated for non-abortion-related activities—but, because money is fungible, this frees up other funds for performing or promoting abortion abroad.
The Mexico City policy closes this loophole by requiring recipients of U.S. aid dollars to certify that they will not perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning.

While the Democrat-media axis recoils, Trump keeps his promises
By Matt Mackowiak - January 25, 2017 WASHINGTON TIMES
I am not going to pretend that the first week of the Trump presidency has not been a little bumpy.
News flash: This is what happens when outsiders take over.
But the collective freakout over everything President Trump or his team says or does is reaching unprecedented levels in modern history.
