Reducing abortions, faith and unity: Americans share their hopes for Trump’s presidency

January 21, 2025

Among those who gathered to observe the inauguration of Donald Trump as President were a core group of supporters who hope that he will uphold pro-life policies and Christian values.

The Christian Post reports that Trump promised to bring the United States into a “golden age” and a handful of supporters shared their hopes for the next four years.

Street preacher Christina Watson told the Christian Post that “we need more than convenient Christianity.” Watson added that she hopes that the Trump administration will address radical gender ideology issues, particularly within the education system.

Judy is a pro-life advocate who says she hopes that Trump will pardon the 21 activists charged under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACES) Act which became law under Bill Clinton in 1994. Judy is acquainted with several of the activists who are serving prison sentences for blockading a clinic.

Chief Palota is a Polynesian man who says that he supports Trump because the two-term president gives people like him a voice. Palota says that the political left tries to suppress voices like his.

Seth Drayer of the pro-life group Created Equal echoes concerns voiced by other pro-life advocates that Trump’s stance on abortion has loosened. Drayer calls abortion the “one central moral issue in America today” and reminded Trump to do his part to stop abortion.
