Pro-lifers concerned with President-elect Trump’s appointment of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) can take comfort in two recent high-profile medical-related nominations.
Late last month, Trump announced the appointment of pro-life physician Dr. Marty Makary to lead the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Around the same time, President-elect Trump nominated another physician, Dr. David Weldon, to run the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The former Florida congressman has long been an advocate for the pre-born, strong supported a ban on partial-birth abortion and came alongside Terry Schiavo’s parents back in 2003 in their quest to keep their daughter alive via a feeding tube.
Hailed as the most pro-life president in generations, if not ever, and specifically when it comes to policies, Trump’s appointment of Drs. Makary and Weldon serve to balance an increasingly diverse administration that promises to disrupt the status quo.
Dr. Makary, who is currently a surgical oncologist at Johns Hopkins University, has previously spoken about the horrors of abortion – specifically a preborn baby’s visible fight for life in the womb.
“Somewhere between 15 and 20 weeks, babies will actually resist the instruments of abortion,” he said.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson back in 2022, Dr. Mackary expressed indignation towards those who either ignore or readily accept the brutality of the killing of preborn babies.
“It doesn’t matter which side you protest on around this issue, if you see the actual images of what’s happening and a baby resisting an abortion, it’ll weigh on your conscience,” he said to Carlson.
He continued:
“Ironically, we sometimes do fetal surgery on a baby inside the womb of the mother to save the baby’s life, and yet at the same age in other settings, surgical instruments are used to abort a baby,” he said.
“Today, you can barely talk about it,” he said. “Nurses can get fired if they don’t participate, medical students are ridiculed, most of the professional medical associations have taken a political stand now supporting abortion right up until the third trimester.”
Tapping Dr. David Weldon to run the CDC promises to restore sanity and ethics to an agency that’s grown increasingly woke these last four years. Despite having a mission to save lives and protect the public from health threats, the bloated bureaucracy has published nonsense like “Health Equity Guiding Principles for Inclusive Communication.”
As a member of Congress, Dr. Weldon sponsored a ban of human cloning and regularly touted the benefits of sexual abstinence. He also sponsored and helped pass what has become known as the “Weldon Amendment” – legislation that safeguards the rights of conscience.
Simply stated, it says taxpayer dollars cannot go to any local, state, or federal program that “subjects any institutional or individual health care entity to discrimination on the basis that the healthcare entity does not provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions.”
That radicals refer to it as a “poison pill rider for abortion access” confirms just how solidly pro-life the legislation has turned out to be.
The incoming Trump administration may not look exactly like the last one when it comes to across-the-board pro-life stalwarts, but it it’s nevertheless encouraging and promising for those committed to saving the innocent that stalwarts like Drs. Makary and Weldon will soon be hanging up their shingles in Washington, D.C.
