President Donald Trump is on track to become the most pro-life president ever. That’s the assessment of the leader of one national pro-life organization who is pleased with what the new president has done already and just one year.

What pro-life voters did not know is how Donald Trump would turn out to be as president. Trump had no track record either signing legislation as a governor or voting for legislation in Congress or the state legislature.

They gave Donald Trump a chance and most pro-life leaders believe he has not disappointed. Here is an overview of his record since being elected president.
