First Sitting President to Ever Attend a March For Life Rally

The right to “LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” These famous words are enshrined in one of the greatest founding documents of any country throughout history – our Declaration of Independence. No one today seems to understand the importance of those rights better than President Donald J. Trump. Furthermore, he understands those rights don’t just apply to you and me. They also apply to the unborn child within a mother’s womb. This was exemplified by his eloquent speech when he attended Friday’s annual March for Life Rally in Washington DC.

While President Trump may be the first Commander in Chief to attend the rally, past presidents have addressed those attending the rally over the phone or via video conference. Nonetheless, President Trump stands out from the pack – as he does on most things – with his moving address to the massive crowd that assembled all in support for one of the most basic human rights, the right to life.

Trump to Veto Legislation Leading to the Destruction of Human Life

For quite some time debates have been ongoing as to whether or not the government should be funding organizations like Planned Parenthood. Regardless of one’s take on the issue, the fact of the matter is the federal government is not responsible for funding these types of organizations.

In addition to funding set aside for Planned Parenthood and similar organizations, the debate rages on regarding the role these organizations play in the destruction of human life, otherwise known as abortion. Whether or not you agree with abortion is one thing, but it is not up to the taxpayers to be funding what some love to call a women’s healthcare decision. The US finally has a president who understands the sanctity of life and is willing to stand up in defense of the unborn.

Trump Defends Life on the World Stage

Not only is President Trump defending the lives of the unborn here in the United States, but he is also standing up for the lives of the unborn abroad. This shows that abortion isn’t just a domestic issue. This is an issue facing nations around the world and under the Trump administration, the US will no longer support any nation which attacks the sanctity of life. This strikes at the very heart of the globalist movement as do many of Trump’s other policies which put America first.

Faith-Based Charities

In his speech, President Trump speaks about the Left and the incessant quest to shut down faith-based charities such as adoption agencies. Faith-based charities are nothing more than good people attempting to do the work of God in helping humanity. This type of service to our fellow man is the antithesis of what the government wants in society. People helping each other in turn eliminates our reliance on government to provide for us.

In the instance of faith-based adoption agencies, it removes the need for foster care services and other government-based organizations which deal with placing children in homes. Instead, we can rely on each other and our faith in God to ensure that children end up in loving and caring homes. The idea of eliminating the need for government involvement in our lives is just what the Left doesn’t want to see. They want each and every one of us living our daily lives thinking that we would be destitute if it weren’t for the outstretched fist of the strong-armed government.

Banning Religious Believers from the Public Square

President Trump also addressed the issue we face pertaining to the Left and their war on religion in the public square. Countless times those on the Left have undertaken personal crusades to remove the 10 Commandments from public places, remove Crosses from memorials, and other instances in which religious symbols have come under attack. This issue can be solved by simply looking no further than the Constitution and one of our most important rights, the right to free speech.

The Left constantly likes to come at us with the notion that separation of church and state means there can be no religious displays in the public square. This idea is inherently wrong, and it’s up to us to call them out on it. The only reason separation between church and state exists in the Constitution is to prevent the government from instituting a religion for the country and forcing people to abide by a specific religion.

Every Person is Worth Protecting

It is clear President Trump is not only a pro-life President, but he is also a pro-Constitution president. The right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a God-given right, not a right granted to us by government. It is a right bestowed upon us by our creator. Combined with our right to religious freedom outlined in this speech, we are left with a president who understands the importance of faith in society. He also recognizes the idea that God and not government should be at the forefront of all of our lives.
