First appearance on Fox: Major pro-life activist groups have already moved from celebrating former President Donald Trump's victory to making plans for his second term, Fox News Digital has learned.
A memo shared exclusively with FOX News Digital by Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA), one of the nation's largest and most influential pro-life organizations, includes the group's recommendations for the next administration. Plans and priorities are laid out, and their expectations are set out. This is the beginning of a roadmap for pro-life victories in the coming years.
The report found that while Democrats spent $570 million on abortion ads, President Trump's landslide victory was due to Americans' support for unrestricted abortion access, which Vice President Kamala Harris and many Democratic leaders support. He says this is proof that he did not.
“The Democratic Party's abortion fear campaign has been a spectacular failure in the first presidential election since Roe's upset,” the memo said. “By the way, President T…
Mr. Lamp did what he has done better than anyone since 2016: Mr. Trump has effectively positioned Democrats as the true abortion extremists who support abortion even in the seventh, eighth, and ninth months of pregnancy, and who do not even support basic health care for children who survive attempts. . abortion. ”

“Now that we have won, what’s next?” the memo asks.
First, the memo states that the Trump administration must immediately reverse all abortion policies enacted over the past four years under the Biden-Harris administration.
“President Trump’s accomplishments in his first term will serve as the baseline for his second term,” the memo continues. “But to even get to that baseline, there's a lot that has to be undone from the Biden-Harris administration, which has been aggressively pro-abortion in every corner of the federal government. We have to undo everything.”
SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser told Fox News Digital that the organization will push for a “cleansing” of tax funding for abortion through the Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services and other government agencies during the first 100 days of the Trump administration. spoke. , and through grants to groups like Planned Parenthood.
Dannenfelser added that the Trump administration needs to clarify the resources and options available to women who do not want to choose an abortion during the first 100 days. He also said Trump should reinstate the Mexico City Policy, which prohibits the government from promoting or paying for abortions internationally.

Dannenfelser did not take national abortion restrictions off the table, but acknowledged it was “not a day-one issue.”
There were many blessings for the pro-life movement last week, when seven states passed sweeping amendments that put abortion into state law, significantly expanding access to abortion in those states. This followed a series of similar amendments passed by voters in California, Ohio, Michigan, and Vermont.
Dannenfelser acknowledged that after 50 years of Roe v. Wade, he understands that Americans are not ready to accept protections for all unborn children, but the nation has at least “minimum standards” for unborn children. '' believes that protection is necessary.
“To continue the offensive and truly defeat the abortion industry in the long term, we must strengthen the Republican Party's pro-life, pro-women, pro-family resolve, centered on the unalienable right to life,” the SBA said in the memo. We have to do it,” he said. For a fetus that exists under the Fourteenth Amendment. ”
Dannenfelser said the pro-life movement's job in the coming years will be to foster a cultural conversation about what minimum standards countries should establish to protect unborn children.

She singled out Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, saying he is a model of a leader who effectively engages and promotes the cultural conversation around abortion.
Florida, along with South Dakota and Nebraska, became the first states to vote down abortion efforts since the Roe v. Wade reversal.
Dannenfelser said DeSantis' leadership “showed exactly what he would do” to win pro-life victories.
“Instead of pretending it’s not happening, we continue to attack extremism,” she said. “DeSantis has shown that when you act in full force, you can defy all the prophets and fend off that terrifying initiative.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis urged voters to vote “no” on Amendment 4. He said the wording of the proposed amendment was “vague” and affected parents' rights. (Woffle)
The SBA is not the only pro-life organization to take action since President Trump's victory. Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America (SFLA), told Fox News Digital that her group is committed to “Make America Pro-America, including both federal action and state action.” He said he is also formulating a plan titled “Life Again.”
Hawkins said that at the beginning of his administration, SFLA would prioritize four key policies: 1) Appointing pro-life officials to federal agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the FDA, and the Department of Justice; The Freedom of Access to Release Clinic Entrances for Incarcerated Pro-Life Activists (FACE) Act, completely defunding Planned Parenthood, and investigating harmful chemicals used in chemical abortion drugs. .
Hawkins also said he would continue to advocate for abortion restrictions at the federal level, but like Dannenfelser, he acknowledged it was unlikely to happen anytime soon.
For now, President Trump's “Day 1” priority should be to defund the Planned Parenthood program, he said.

“Students for Life America has always been clear: Abortion is 100% federally sponsored. The pro-life movement has been clear that abortion is 100% federally sponsored. Why? Because your right not to be killed simply because it's inconvenient to someone else doesn't start and end at state lines,” she told FOX News Digital. “We don't agree with President Trump on this, but we can work with President Trump at this point. The first thing he has to do is defund Planned Parenthood, It is prohibited.”
Also looming large behind both groups' plans is the possibility of a Supreme Court justice retiring or dying. Neither Dannenfelser nor Hawkins would say who they might support in a Supreme Court nomination, but Hawkins remains hopeful that Trump will appoint a pro-unborn justice. He said that
“Our request to President Trump in 2015 and 2016 is that in 2025, or whenever that happens in this administration, if there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, whether it's Mayor Outside or Justice Thomas, , against President Trump The person he will nominate and the person confirmed by the U.S. Senate will be a constitutionalist, not an abortion activist, who knows what is in the Constitution and what is not. It is a right not found in the Constitution to end the life of an inconvenient human child.
