PRESS RELEASE

Washington, D.C. – Operation Rescue is pleased to announce that the recipient of the 2020 Person of the Year Malachi Award is President Donald J. Trump. The Malachi Award is given by Operation Rescue every year to recognize individuals who sacrificially work to advance the cause of protecting the pre-born. During President Trump’s Administration, he has done more to protect unborn lives than any other President in U.S. History.

When he first took office, he immediately set out to defund those that promote abortion worldwide. He established policies at the Department of Health and Human Services that completely changed the philosophy of government from one that favored abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood, to one that promised to protect life “from conception until natural death.”

His new Protect Life Rule blocked Planned Parenthood and other abortionists from receiving millions in Title X Family Planning grants. Most recently, the Trump Administration withheld $200 million from the State of California for requiring all health insurance policies to include abortion coverage, which forces those who object to fund abortions.

Earlier this year, President Trump pulled out of the pro-abortion United Nations’ World Health Organization. The WHO is one of the world’s top promoters and funders of abortion internationally.

President Trump has also appointed three Supreme Court Justices during his first term, including conservative Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, the first openly pro-life Justice on the Supreme Court. This has produced the first conservative majority on the High Court in decades.

President Trump’s over 300 judicial appointments give pro-life supporters new hope that life-affirming legislation will withstand legal challenges. These appointments have created a climate where the possibility of overturning Roe v. Wade now exists, and has placed the nation on a course toward building an Abortion Free America.

President Trump has strengthened conscience clauses so no one can be forced to participate in an abortion who has moral objections to it. Just recently, the Department of Justice, acting under these strong conscious protections, sued a Vermont hospital for forcing a nurse to participate in an abortion against her conscience. He has also protected religious liberties that ensure Americans can continue advocating on behalf of the unborn in freedom.

“President Trump has done more to build a Culture of Life in the U.S. than all previous presidents combined,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “It is my honor to acknowledge these accomplishments and relay my deep gratitude to him for keeping and exceeding all his promises when it comes to the matter of abortion. He is a worthy recipient of the 2020 Person of the Year Malachi Award.”

You know, I really find the terminology in the abortion debate just too ambiguous to deal with. The word abortion comes from De Bellus Gallum. There was a scene in the campaign where a legion, whose leaders and ideas later returned in De Bellus Civil (book two of the Complete Works of Julius Caesar), rose up against the leader while on campaign to put down the revolution in the Roman Colony in Gaul (now France). Caesar won the civil war friendly fire incident in question, which was apparently sympathy within the ranks with the traitor Vercingetorix, who has politically taken over the Gaullist colony. What he did was to abort the legion of the traitor at that point, which means he killed them all. It's a step beyond decimation, which would have meant that one tenth of the legion had been killed. And that is where we get the word abortion. Now I don't believe in just killing an unborn child anymore than the next moral and ethical citizen, but I do think that the usage of the word in modern times is a cause for concern. Abortion is of a legion (well, actually it was just a century) and there were a hundred mature Roman centurions in one, who were battlefield traitors. Calling a doctor induced miscarriage just seems militaristic to me, was the child only being seen as a proletarian, which means a child produced for the state, maybe to slave in the legions, by an indigent family on welfare getting bread and circuses from Rome but putting nothing in but a potential state security risk? this needs to be investigated.

The abortion debate is extremely well defined, meaning the unjustified taking of an unborn human.

Well yeah, that's in modern English. But that's not what it means. Also, abortion is always discussed politically in with adoption, called "the other A word" in family values circles. One major problem in this country is adoption, everyone is bringing in an Asian or an African as a baby, and adopting them. Your post mentioned Planned Parenthood, a very anti white organization, encouraging posterity to either be sterile and join the ranks of Marcusian intellectuals who essentially commit political suicide, or to "only replace themselves" one boy and one girl per family. What if you get a bunch of boys or a bunch or girls in a row and don't replace the other parent for two or three gestation cycles? Where does that leave their gender equality riff? Anyway, abortion being related to militarism is really clear if you relate it to adoption, the other family values issue. Adoption is related to seed babyism, and causes chain migration, which I'll grant you is more political than militaristic, but the way politics are right now, they're just militant, like the church used to be in Europe during the time of the crusades.

In modern terms it means the unjustified taking of a human life before birth. It has nothing to do with ancient meanings today.

For his part, President Trump did well in reversing Roe vs. Wade. I personally think that was the high point of his presidency.

But where does he stand on the abortion issue today?
