Read MorePro-Life Doctors Urge Incoming Trump Admin to Put Abortion Pills Under the Microscope
The American Association of Pro-Life OB-GYNS (AAPLOG) Action sent a letter Friday to GOP officials urging them to question President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees about their stance on late-term abortion and to investigate the safety of the abortion pill.
AAPLOG’s letter asks Republicans consider the importance of pro-life causes during the confirmation hearings of Dr. Marty Makary, the nominee to head the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the nominee for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) director and Robert F.

The organization called for the administration to revisit the safety of the abortion pill, which has already faced several legal challenges due to claims that numerous precautions were ignored in order to rush its approval.
Read MoreCommentary: President Trump Can Make American Intelligence Great Again
Eight years ago, after Donald Trump’s historic 2016 presidential election victory, I published an article with the same title above, listing urgent recommendations for President Trump to reform America’s then-17 intelligence agencies so they could revert to the great agencies they once were that helped our nation win the Cold War.

Read MoreCommentary: To Avoid Another Russiagate, Trump Needs to Declassify Everything
Following Congress’ certification of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election on Jan. 6, all eyes now turn towards Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration and most importantly, to his first days in office and the work to be done in enacting his agenda.
The first president since Grover Cleveland to serve non-consecutive terms, Trump has a lot of unfinished business — completing the border wall, extending and expanding his tax cuts, restoring American energy dominance, using tariffs to bolster American production and so forth — but certainly cleaning up the national security apparatus that was weaponized against him before he was ever elected in 2016 has to be a top priority.
