A year into his second term, President Donald Trump faces a furious backlash from anti-abortion leaders who say he's abandoned them.

Abby Johnson, a prominent anti-abortion advocate, railed to Notus on Friday that Trump has “done nothing for the pro-life movement."

"He’s made things significantly worse, just like he said he would,” Johnson bemoaned. “He said he wouldn’t restrict abortion, and he’s done exactly that.”

She didn't stop there.

“One day, the pro-life movement is going to realize that he’s not the pro-life president that they were hoping for. One day, they’re going to realize they have all been fooled by this man. They’re going to stop saying that he’s the most pro-life president that we’ve ever had,” Johnson raged.

The anger stems from a growing list of disappointments for the movement. The administration quietly restored Title X funding to Planned Parenthood, hasn't restricted abortion pills, and Trump's recently said he was "flexible" on the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding from being used on abortion.

Lila Rose, president of Live Action, blasted the idea of giving Trump and Vice President JD Vance platforms at this week's March for Life without action on abortion restrictions.

“I think it is problematic if the pro-life movement is a cheap date,” Rose said. “We’re not here to just enjoy ourselves with meetings at the White House. That’s not the point of the pro-life movement, the point of the pro-life movement is results.”

The backlash comes as Republicans face significant headwinds in the 2026 midterms. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America plans to spend $80 million and withhold support from candidates who don't toe the line, including the 17 House Republicans who voted to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies without abortion funding restrictions.

Trump's team insisted he's "the most pro-life and pro-family president in American history," citing expanded Mexico City Policy measures, which banned foreign aid from going to groups that promote or provide abortions.

Coinbase Urges Treasury to Clarify GENIUS Act Implementation

The post Coinbase Urges Treasury to Clarify GENIUS Act Implementation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase has called on the U.S. Treasury Department to provide clearer guidance on the implementation of the GENIUS Act, warning that excessive regulation could undermine innovation and weaken the country’s position as a global leader in digital finance. Source: Coinbase In an official statement, Coinbase’s Director of Policy, Faryar Shirzad, said that new rules should “ensure the competitiveness of U.S. stablecoins and create conditions for their global adoption as a payment instrument.” The exchange cautioned the Treasury against introducing restrictions not explicitly outlined in the law, urging policymakers to focus on innovation rather than limitation. Coinbase’s Recommendations for the GENIUS Framework In its response, Coinbase proposed several key adjustments to the regulatory framework. It suggested that non-financial software developers, blockchain validators, and open protocols be excluded from GENIUS compliance requirements. The company also argued that the ban on interest payments should apply only to stablecoin issuers, not to exchanges or intermediaries offering bonus programs or loyalty rewards. Coinbase emphasized that rewards from third parties should not be considered a violation, warning that a broad definition of “interest” could distort the intent of the legislation. The firm additionally proposed that payment stablecoins be treated as cash equivalents for accounting and tax purposes — a move it said would “reflect their real-world use as stable digital currencies.” The GENIUS Act and Its Impact Signed into law in July 2025, the GENIUS Act marked the first comprehensive federal regulation of the U.S. stablecoin market. The law requires that all stablecoins be fully backed by liquid assets, mandates annual audits for issuers, and sets rules for foreign-issued tokens operating in the U.S. market. Coinbase urged regulators to uphold Congress’s original intent, emphasizing that effective policy should allow innovation to grow within the framework of the law, not in defiance of it. Not all lawmakers…
