defund Planned Parenthood as long as they perform abortions , and make the Hyde Amendment permanent law . He ’ s already followed through on one of those promises in nominating Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch . During his first week in office , President Trump signed the Mexico City Policy to ban foreign aid from going to nongovernmental organizations that promote or pay for abortions – also a promising , albeit expected , sign . Then you look at the people around him who are so passionately pro-life , specifically Vice President Mike Pence and Counselor Kellyanne Conway . That optimism and hope was palpable at the recent March for Life when they addressed the crowds . So what are my expectations ? I ’ m holding onto the hope that President Trump will follow through on his pro-life promises he made on the campaign trail . It ’ s an exciting time of great potential for the cause . grassroots efforts make a difference ! Congressmen do listen to their constituents and a lot of change can happen , starting at a local level . For our first “ Call to Action ”, we asked our viewers to sign the “ Defund Planned Parenthood ” petition . It can be found at www . sba-list . org / defundPP and takes less than a minute to complete . A big focus for prolife groups right now is to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court ; so we may see a “ Call to Action ” to go to www . ProLifeCourt . com and adding your name to vocalize support . I really hope that EWTN Pro-Life
Weekly will be a platform to help engage our viewers with the prolife movement . Together , we can make a real impact in our legislation and culture .
“ EWTN Pro-Life Weekly ” will begin airing each week at 11 p . m . ET Fridays , 10 a . m . ET Sundays , and 3 a . m . ET Mondays starting March 3 , 2017 . I ’ d like to thank the Catherine Szeltner for sharing her story and devoting her time to such an amazing cause . Special gratitude to Michelle Johnson of EWTN Global Catholic Network for setting up this interview .
Pro-Life Weekly will feature specific calls of action for viewers . Tell us more about the roles that you hope your viewing audience will play . Are there specific calls of action that you are currently discussing ? I think a lot of pro-lifers feel strongly about their beliefs , but may not know how to channel their conviction into action . The recent March for Life is still fresh in my mind – to see tens of thousands of people taking the peaceful action to stand up for life . The beautiful thing is , there are steps that pro-lifers can take each and every day out of the year to be involved . And these
