Despite attempts to paint himself as a moderate on abortion rights on the campaign trial, President Donald Trump is now leaning into his anti-abortion base once again.

Trump pardoned Handy and her nine co-defendants: Jonathan Darnel of Virginia; Jay Smith, John Hinshaw and William Goodman, all of New York; Joan Bell of New Jersey; Paulette Harlow and Jean Marshall, both of Massachusetts; Heather Idoni of Michigan; and Herb Geraghty of Pennsylvania.

In the early days of his second term in office, Donald Trump has been cagey about where his administration will take abortion policy.

The freed anti-choice demonstrators join the pro-Trump Jan. 6 defendants and militia leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy and other charges, as well as prolific drug trafficker and “Silk Road” operator Ross Ulbricht, also pardoned by Trump.

"As you know, I just signed a pardon and, in the pardon, we released 23 people that were unjustly put in having to do with pro-life," Trump said in remarks to reporters outside the White House Friday.
