The Trump administration has appointed a female pro-life leader to a position with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).<\/p>\n

Patrina Mosley has been named as advisor to the director of the Center of Excellence on Democracy, Human Rights and Governance at USAID and began her new role on June 8. She previously worked for the Family Research Council as the director of life, culture, and women’s advocacy.<\/p>\n

According to Life News<\/a>, in her new position, Mosley will help to influence international health and developmental policies, including working to stop the push to promote international abortion and to halt the funding of such abortions by American taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Mosley has long been outspoken about abortion, testifying<\/a> before a Senate Judiciary Committee on the “Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” in February. During that hearing, she shared the stories of abortion survivors Gianna Jessen<\/a> and Melissa Ohden<\/a> as proof that babies do survive abortions, and she also noted that babies born as early as 21 weeks<\/a> can survive and thrive if given proper care.<\/p>\n
