NARAL Pro-Choice America this week endorsed Joe Biden for president, saying he will “expand access to abortion” and stop the “anti-choice” agenda of the Trump administration.

NARAL, a lobbying and advocacy organization for abortion rights, made the announcement on Monday, roughly two weeks after the Planned Parenthood Action Fund also endorsed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. NARAL formerly was known as the National Abortion Rights Action League.

“The choice is clear: In his four years in the White House, Donald Trump has exhibited unprecedented cruelty and put lives and freedom on the line time and time again – and this November, we have the opportunity to elect Vice President Joe Biden, a deeply compassionate and thoughtful leader who knows that fighting for reproductive freedom for every body is part and parcel of a just society,” said Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America.

NARAL would work with a Biden administration to expand abortion rights, Hogue added.

“Joe Biden will stand for freedom over Donald Trump’s desire to control women. He will put a stop to Trump’s dangerous anti-choice political agenda when so much hangs in the balance,” Hogue said.

NARAL plans to spend $34.7 million to elect Biden and other like-minded politicians, “from statehouses to the White House,” the press release said.

The press release further said Biden has outlined his commitment to:

  • “protecting and expanding reproductive freedom by vowing to work to safeguard Roe v. Wade.”
  • “only appoint judges who will respect Roe.”
  • “support the repeal of the racist and discriminatory Hyde Amendment,” a legislative provision that prohibits taxpayer funding of abortion.
  • “use executive action to protect and expand access to abortion and contraception, including reversing Trump’s rules gutting reproductive freedom, like the global and domestic gag rules.”

The National Right to Life Committee last year endorsed Trump for re-election. Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, called Trump “the only presidential candidate who stands for the unalienable right to life.”

“From his first day in office, President Trump and his Administration have been dedicated to advancing policies that protect the fundamental right to life for the unborn, the elderly, and the medically dependent and disabled,” Tobias said.

A National Right to Life press release said Trump had:

  • restored the Mexico City Policy, which “prevents tax funds from being given to organizations that perform abortions or lobby to change abortion laws of host countries.” Trump later expanded the policy to “prevent $9 billion in foreign aid from being used to fund the global abortion industry,” the press release said.
  • cut off funding to the United Nations Population Fund “because of that agency’s involvement with China’s forced abortion program.”
  • pledged “to veto any legislation that weakens current pro-life federal policies and laws, or that encourages the destruction of innocent human life at any state.”
  • ensured federal Title X funding “does not go to facilities that perform or refer for abortions.”
  • nominated judges who believe “that federal courts should enforce the rights truly based on the text and history of the Constitution.”

“From his first day in office, President Trump and his Administration have been dedicated to advancing policies that protect the fundamental right to life for the unborn, the elderly, and the medically dependent and disabled,” Tobias said. Christian Headline News

  • 18 days from conception, heart begins to beat, with the baby’s own blood.
  • 28 days from conception a baby has eyes, ears, and even a tongue!
  • 28 days from conception: Muscles are developing along the future spine. Arms and legs are budding.
  • 30 days: Child has grown 10,000 times to 6-7mm (1/4”) long. Brain has human proportions. Blood flows in veins.
  • 42 days: Skeleton is formed. Brain coordinates movement of muscles and organs. Reflex responses have begun.
  • 42 days: Brain waves can be detected, the jaw forms, including teeth and taste buds. The unborn baby begins to swallow amniotic fluid. Fingers and toes are developing.
  • 45 days from conception: The unborn baby is making body movements, a full 12 weeks before the mother may notice such stirrings. By seven weeks the chest and abdomen are fully formed. Swimming with a natural swimmer’s stroke in the amniotic fluid, the baby now looks like a miniature human infant.
  • 44-45 days: Buds of milk teeth appear, and the unborn baby’s facial muscles develop. Eyelids begin to form, protecting the developing eyes. Elbows take shape. Internal organs are present, but immature. 99% of muscles are present, each with its own nerve supply.
  • 52 Days: Spontaneous movement begins. The unborn baby then develops a whole collection of moves over the next 4 weeks including hiccuping, frowning, squinting, furrowing the brow, pursing the lips, moving individual arms and legs, head turning, touching his/her face, breathing (without air), stretching, opening the mouth, yawning and sucking.                                                                                                                                                                                                                I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Psalms 139:14-16
