Trump Touts Anti-Abortion Policies at March For Life Event Trump became the first sitting United States president to speak at the event, telling onlookers "under my administration, we will always defend the very first right in the Declaration of Independence, and that is the right to life." Trump's Department of Health and Human Services announced that the administration was rescinding an Obama-era Medicaid guideline that limited the way states could take action against medical providers that provide abortion services. During his first year in office, he also reinstated and expanded President Ronald Reagan's Mexico City policy, which forbids U.S. foreign development aid from supporting abortion.
