The White House says President Donald Trump is appointing the former president of a leading anti-abortion organization to a senior position at the Department of Health and Human Services.
Charmaine Yoest, who actively supported Trump in his campaign, will serve as assistant secretary of public affairs at HHS. From 2008 until February 2016, she was president of Americans United for Life, which campaigned at the federal and state level for tough restrictions on abortion.
Among the many state bills backed by the group under Yoests leadership were measures that would ban most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, require women seeking abortions to undergo a sonogram and impose tough regulations on abortion clinics that could lead to their closure.
The appointment was assailed by abortion-rights groups.

Thank you President Trump. Other than you, the rest of congress/DC is pathetic.
Thank you Mr. President!
Anti-abortion means PRO-LIFE.
Winning. Let’s see the pearl-clutchers here put this down.
Excellent! MAGA!
Trump has done so much already. A lot of disappointments along the way, but he’s still fighting hard. I never, in a million years, thought I’d ever be pleased with a President again. I never, ever thought that man would be Donald Trump.
God bless our President!
High five!
Excellent news in light of the disastrous bill to keep the government open.
