“I think when it comes to the Supreme Court nominations, President Trump was the most pro-life president we’ve ever had,” Stefanik told Breitbart News ahead of speaking at a celebratory event hosted by the national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony (SBA) List this week.
“And thank goodness for his strong nominations to the Supreme Court,” Stefanik added. “I certainly am proud that we have so many pro-life leaders stepping up at all levels to run for office in the Republican Party.”
Stefanik, the House GOP Conference chair and a member of leadership, was an early endorser of Trump’s reelection bid and reiterated her support for him Saturday on social media, saying, “We must continue strengthening the culture of life in America by electing President Trump in 2024!”
While SBA List has not made an endorsement in the packed GOP primary, the prominent group also gave the former president credit.
“He’s the most pro-life president we’ve ever had, without question,” SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser told Breitbart News. “We hope that past is prologue. We’re just waiting to hear what his plans are.”
During his time in office, Trump nominated three conservative justices, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, who sided with the high court’s majority in a 5–4 vote overturning Roe one year ago.
The former president, who won over middle America, and evangelical voters in particular, in his 2016 rise in part by promoting a pro-life position, is now joined in the primary by a number of fervently pro-life challengers who are all facing questions from the Republican base about forwarding the pro-life movement in the post-Roe era.

Asked how Republicans reconcile supporting abortion regulation being flipped back to states while pushing for federal legislation on the issue, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), the GOP Conference’s vice chair, told Breitbart News the Pro-Life Caucus is working with national groups like SBA List to find consensus on the matter, and whether there should be a “ceiling.”
“There’s a broad swath of opinions on that, you know, should it be a 15-week ban, six-week ban,” Johnson said. “I think we may be close to building a consensus, but it’s still being worked out.”
Johnson, who himself is pro-life and worked as an attorney in that arena for two decades, said discussions remain ongoing “about where we land on that,” a testament to the challenge House Republicans face with encouraging a national pro-life culture legislatively while holding such a slim majority in the lower chamber alongside a Democrat-controlled Senate and White House.
The House in January passed two fairly mild pro-life bills with unanimous Republican support and little to no Democrat support, a bill that would implement protections for babies born alive after botched abortions and a resolution condemning attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers, neither of which has been taken up in the Senate.
Overturning this was a huge and important accomplishment.
The total insanity and depravity that has ensued is a reaction to it.
Think of how many little innocent babies are alive and not murdered and dismembered thanks to PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP!
The two most polarizing issues in American politics are gun rights, and the right to life. Both have been dramatically influenced in the right direction by the Trump court.
Good for her and the other GOP MAGA gals, they fight harder than most of the GOP men.
“‘Thank Goodness for His Strong Nominations’ to SCOTUS”
Overturning Roe was huge but this statement is silly. His nominations wouldn’t even vote to hear his case after 2020 election fraud.
