Former President Donald Trump condemned abortion at a political event and told pro-life advocates this weekend that there is a clear role for the government to protect the lives of unborn babies.
Trump said the federal government has a role in protecting the lives of babies before birth after the Dobbs decision last year striking down Roe v. Wade.
“There of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life,” Trump told attendees at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s annual conference.
Trump also said he would take on the radical pro-abortion policies of the Democrat Party, which supports abortions up to birth and forcing taxpayers to fund them.
“We will defeat the radical Democrat policy of extreme late term abortion,” he said.
Trump also touted his record of appointing the Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe.
Trump accumulated a solid pro-life record as president and he says in a new interview that he will build on that record if he’s elected to another term in the White House.

In a new interview, Trump says he would promote adoption as president as a means of helping save babies from abortions. He explained how he would focus on incentivizing adoptions to reduce abortions and he thinks that overturning Roe puts pro-life advocates in a position to press for adoption support.
“I think it’s very important that if I win, and I hope I’m going to win, we’re winning by a lot right now, we’ll be pressing the adoption option,” Trump told “Just the News – No Noise” during the opening night of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) convention in Orlando, Fla.
“I think the incentive is great. And I think the concept of adoption is fantastic,” Trump said. “And it could go a long way. And it’s something that I would be supportive of, very supportive of. And we’d get that done. I don’t even think that would be a very difficult thing to get done.”
Trump said during Monday’s interview: “I did something that nobody else in 52 years was able to do. I got rid of Roe v. Wade. … But what it really did is it gave pro-life people the right to negotiate and a tremendous power to negotiate. Before, they had no chance of doing anything. You could kill a baby after nine months in the womb, you could kill a baby after birth.”
“Before, [pro-life activists] had no power in negotiation,” he continued. “Now, the pro-life group actually has the upper hand, and they can negotiate something that will be very fair, and very good.”
