Operation Rescue announced last week that President Trump has been named their 2017 Pro-Life Person of the Year. President Trump received the Malachi Award for his role in protecting the unborn. Operation Rescue is a pro-life Christian activist organization.

On their website, Operation Rescue states that its activities are on the cutting edge of the abortion issue. They take “direct action to restore legal personhood to the pre-born and stop abortion in obedience to biblical mandates.”

‘The Most Pro-Life President’

Operation Rescue’s President Troy Newman said that the organization “is grateful [to] Pres. Trump for having the courage to keep promises made during the campaign.” Trump’s actions are providing greater protections for the pre-born and denying Federal funds from those who commit abortions. “He has proven to be the most pro-life president we have had in modern history and has backed up his pro-life rhetoric with action like no other before him.”

Operation Rescue lists President Trump’s accomplishments, which helped him earn the award:

• Trump appointed conservative pro-life Justice Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.
• He has denied public money to those who commit and promote abortions worldwide.
• The Trump Administration Department of Justice has launched a formal investigation into Planned Parenthood’s illegal baby body parts trafficking practices.
• Trump actively supported pro-life legislation, including the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
• He supports legislation to defund Planned Parenthood in the U.S.  and “removed an Obama-era mandate that forced states to continue funding Planned Parenthood.”
• He has filled his administration with pro-life people.
• His administration has taken active steps with the Health and Human Services and other agencies to establish pro-life policies that protect the unborn.
• He has provided protections for those of religious and moral convictions from paying for abortifacient drugs through Obamacare, and continues to work to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Pro-Life Person of the Year Malachi Award

“We are proud of President Trump and his bold willingness to advance the cause of life. There are more battles ahead, but under the Trump administration, we can now finally see progress within our government toward restoring the sanctity of life and the protections of personhood to the pre-born,” Newman said. “This makes Pres. Trump a deserving recipient of the 2017 Pro-Life Person of the Year Malachi Award.”
