Life Advocates Pray That the 47th President Will Do As the 40th,
Choosing to ‘Defend Every Innocent Preborn Life’
(January 21, 2025 – Fredericksburg, Virginia) — American Life League is urging President Trump to follow in the footsteps of President Reagan and change his heart toward the sanctity of human life.
American Life League president Judie Brown declared, “We pray that President Trump, like President Ronald Reagan before him, will see the error of his ways and choose to defend every innocent preborn child from the first moment of creation onward. President Reagan’s 1984 ‘Proclamation of National Sanctity of Human Life Day’ was a beginning for him; may it also be so for President Trump. We ask God to give President Trump wisdom, insight, and courage.”
Brown’s and her late husband Paul’s friendship with the 40th president helped solidify Reagan’s life-affirming views. Brown recalls how much she valued their time with the man she has labeled America’s most pro-life president.
Reagan, Brown reports, was genuinely pro-life.
“President Reagan rued the day when, as governor, he signed the 1968 abortion law in California, and he said so many times,” shares Brown. “His regret was expressed not necessarily for publicity but because he had genuinely changed his mind. Having spoken with him about this, I believe he was sincere.”
Brown also points to Reagan’s 1983 essay Abortion and the Conscience of a Nation, the only presidential pro-life work on record. In the piece, Reagan defended the life of the preborn, predicted that the nation’s opinion on abortion would eventually change, and expressed his desire to see Roe v. Wade overturned.
“We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life – the unborn – without diminishing the value of all human life,” wrote Reagan.
Brown prays that President Trump will follow in President Reagan’s footsteps.
