The former President Donald Trump has often been called the most pro-life president in American history by many on the right.

Supreme Court set for next abortion fight
The Biden administration will head Wednesday to the Supreme Court to defend one of its primary efforts to protect abortion rights after the fall of Roe v. Wade.
