A pro-life community on edge breathed a sigh of relief last week when former president Donald Trump affirmed that he will not support a Florida ballot initiative in November that would drastically expand abortion access in the state, despite his opposition to the state’s six-week ban on abortion.

Students for Life president Kristan Hawkins tells NR that Trump’s announcement is evidence that pro-life pressure does work — while other Florida pro-lifers said they never had any doubt that the former president would come out against the radical amendment in his home state.
