Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump leaves the stage a the conclusion of a campaign rally at the Forum River Center March 09, 2024 in Rome, Georgia.
She'll join us in just a moment. But let's begin with Patrick Brown. He's a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, where he focuses on a pro-family agenda. And he joins us from Columbia, South Carolina. Patrick, welcome.
Would you support that? Do you think it has sufficient traction that should there be another Trump administration, it could actually be on the agenda? BROWN: Yeah, I think some of the ones that come top to mind are a lot of the executive actions that President Biden took in the wake of the Dobbs decision, really stretching the boundaries of the Hyde Amendment, which forbids federal money from going towards procuring abortions. And the Biden administration has been very creative, shall we say, in trying to make sure that money flows to states that are trying to enable women seeking abortions to do.
Obviously, I think treating that relationship as a widow and her deceased partner is very different than the idea of taxpayer funded promulgation of an idea that parenthood should be something that anyone should be able to do, outside of the context of a relationship. There seems to be a conflict which is very challenging for me to understand. Because on the one hand, a lot of the proposals, including ones that you mentioned, had to do with people of faith, say pharmacists or health care providers or insurance providers, not wanting the government to tell them that they must provide either financial or medical services to people who are requesting things that they personally don't believe in by virtue of their faith or moral grounding.
And it all hinges on what moral worth we assign to that unborn baby, as pro-lifers believe in the context of abortion. These are questions that are so fundamental to a democracy. About who is worthy of the protection of the law. And when you talk about things like conscious protections and other things like that, those are trying to maintain a certain degree of separation between a healthy civil society with a pluralistic view of what a flourishing life looks like.
