WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- In a blow to the corrupt political establishment that has for years propped up a failing Abortion Cartel, Donald J. Trump has seized an unlikely, but welcome victory in the 2016 Presidential Election.

Operation Rescue favored the Trump/Pence ticket because of detailed promises to appoint pro-life justices to the Supreme Court, defund Planned Parenthood, ban abortions after 20 weeks, and permanently encode the Hyde Amendment to block the use of tax money to pay for abortions.

With Republicans also maintaining control of the House and Senate, roadblocks thrown up by the pro-abortion Obama Administration over the past eight years that have thwarted pro-life legislation have now been removed.

"Trump's victory is a victory for every American and for every child yet to be conceived in our great nation," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "We are relieved and grateful to the American people for their wisdom in rejecting Hillary Clinton's radical and barbaric abortion agenda in favor of the Trump-Pence pro-life platform. This gives us great hope for the future.

"But we are well aware that promises are not deeds. We will work to hold the new administration's feet to the fire throughout Trump's presidency, to ensure that promises are kept, the innocent are protected, and the corrupt Abortion Cartel is utterly defeated."
