WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — President Trump is getting rid of a Biden-era rule that facilitated abortions for minor illegal immigrants, sometimes called “unaccompanied minors.”
The Department of Health and Human Services is officially removing a 2022 rule issued by the Biden administration that ignored longstanding federal law, the Hyde Amendment, and used taxpayer dollars to kill babies. The November 2022 change was part of the Biden administration’s “whole-of-government” approach to facilitate the killing of as many preborn babies as possible following the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
“HHS is reviewing the relevant regulations and guidance to ensure they align with all applicable laws, including the Hyde Amendment,” an unnamed official told the Daily Signal recently.
The 2022 rule explicitly told the Office of Refugee Resettlement to help illegal immigrants minors get abortions, even if the law did not provide for it, the Daily Signal reported.
“This formed the basis for the office to provide transportation for a number of minors to receive abortions,” the Daily Signal reported. “This includes out-of-state travel for minors in states where abortion is banned.”
During Biden’s administration, his officials ignored federal law and undermined checks and balances by pushing through legally dubious policies, including removing virtually any limits on the distribution of dangerous chemical abortion drugs. This effort to flood the country, particularly states with some protections for preborn babies, has led to about 63 percent of all abortions being committed with the abortion pills.
In the wake of the reversal of Roe v. Wade, other Democratic Party leaders also floated ideas to ensure women could continue to kill their preborn babies without any limits. Left-wing Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York demanded the Biden administration build abortion facilities on federal lands, like at national parks.
“I’ll start with the babiest of the babiest of the baby steps,” she said without irony in June 2022. “Open abortion clinics on federal lands in red states right now. Right now.”
In contrast, the Trump administration has taken some steps to protect preborn lives. As part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” budget signed this summer, the Trump administration temporarily defunded some abortions vendors like Planned Parenthood of taxpayer dollars. The defunding has led to closures and staff cutbacks at some locations.
However, the Trump administration also approved a generic abortion drug and has pushed companies to pay for in vitro fertilization. He also has sought to make IVF easier to pay for. This procedure almost always requires the creation of extra unborn children who are often intentionally destroyed.
