(LifeSiteNews) — President Donald Trump has signed dozens of executive orders in the first days of his new administration, including several major victories for conservatives.

Below is a list of some of Trump’s most significant orders so far on life, family, gender, freedom, and more.

Abortion

Enforcing the Hyde Amendment

  • This executive order reaffirms the Hyde Amendment and prohibits the use of federal taxpayer dollars “to fund or promote elective abortion.”
  • It additionally revokes two pro-abortion executive orders issued by Joe Biden after the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
  • The order led the Department of Defense to revoke the Biden administration’s policy of funding abortion travel expenses for military members.

The Mexico City Policy

  • Trump reinstated the “Mexico City Policy” on January 24, prohibiting the use of federal taxpayer dollars to “fund organizations or programs that support or participate in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.”

The Trump administration blocked further funding to pro-abortion groups by freezing foreign aid distributed through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which gave tens of millions of dollars to abortion activists under the Biden administration.

Trump also pardoned the 23 pro-life protesters imprisoned under the Biden administration for blocking access to abortion facilities.

The Trump administration has additionally rejoined the international Geneva Consensus Declaration, which affirms the right to life and declares that there is no “right” to abortion.

 

Gender

Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government” 

  • In this sweeping Day One executive order, Trump declared that it is the policy of United States government to recognize only two sexes – male and female – and prohibited the use of federal funding to promote gender ideology.
  • He also banned gender-confused male inmates from being housing in women’s prisons; revoked pro-LGBT Biden administration policies and documents; ordered government-issued identification documents to reflect the holder’s accurate sex; and banned federal funding for prisoners’ “gender transitions,” among other things.

Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation

  • This executive order protects children from mutilating transgender interventions, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries.
  • The order declares that it is the policy of the United States government not to “fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another” and that “it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”
  • It also directs the Department of Defense to exclude coverage of underage “gender transitions” from the military health care program TRICARE and instructs the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to revoke previous Biden administration guidance on “transitions” and issue a new policy protecting whistleblowers who expose child gender mutilation, among other actions.

Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports

  • With this executive order to protect women’s sports, Trump made it the policy of the United States government to defund all educational programs that allow males to compete against women and girls.
  • The order also declares it the policy of the U.S. “to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.”
  • Moreover, it extends to the 2028 Summer Olympics, which are set to be held in Los Angeles. Trump authorized the Secretary of State to inform the International Olympic Committee that “America categorically rejects transgender lunacy.” He also directed Secretary of Homeland Security to “deny any and all visa applications made by men attempting to fraudulently enter the United States while identifying themselves as women athletes to try and get into the Games.” 

Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness

 

Education and parental rights

Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling

  • This executive order eliminates federal funding for the promotion of gender ideology and critical race theory in K-12 education and aims to protect parental rights, including by defunding “social transitions” of children.

Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families

  • Trump’s executive order on educational freedom directs federal departments to advance school choice and declares that “parents, not the government, play a fundamental role in choosing and directing the upbringing and education of their children.”

 

DEI

Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing

  • This Day One executive order abolishes DEI programs and policies in the federal government, declaring them “illegal and immoral discrimination” and “immense public waste.”

Ending Illegal Discrimination And Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity

  • This anti-DEI order instructs federal agencies to “combat illegal private-sector DEI preferences, mandates, policies, programs, and activities.” It also revokes several pro-DEI Biden policies.

Reforming The Federal Hiring Process And Restoring Merit To Government Service

  • This executive order prohibits federal hiring based on “impermissible factors,” including “one’s commitment to illegal racial discrimination under the guise of ‘equity,’ or one’s commitment to the invented concept of ‘gender identity’ over sex.”

 

Freedom

“Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government”

  • This pro-freedom executive order aims to abolish weaponization of the federal government against conservatives and declares that “it is policy of the United States to identify and take appropriate action to correct past misconduct by the Federal Government related to the weaponization of law enforcement and the weaponization of the Intelligence Community.”
  • The order mandates a review of the activities of “all departments and agencies exercising civil or criminal enforcement authority of the United States,” including the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission, over the last four years.

Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship

  • This executive order protects the “right of the American people to engage in constitutionally protected speech” and prohibits federal government employees from engaging in “any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen.”

Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias

  • This order seeks to “protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government.”
  • It establishes a task force within the Department of Justice to “eradicate anti-Christian bias,” which will review the activities of the Biden administration to identify and terminate “any unlawful anti-Christian policies, practices, or conduct by an agency contrary to the purpose and policy of this order.”
  • It declares that the Trump administration “will not tolerate anti-Christian weaponization of government or unlawful conduct targeting Christians.”

Trump has also reinstated military members discharged for refusing the dangerous, abortion-tainted COVID shots, granting them full back pay, benefits, bonus payments, or compensation and allowing them to revert to their former rank. 

In addition to his executive orders, Trump granted full pardons to nearly all January 6 protesters convicted under the Biden administration, except for a small number whose sentences he commuted.

 

Anti-globalism

Trump withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) in a Day One executive order.

The order pauses all funding and support to the WHO, which aggressively promotes abortion and LGBT ideology, including “gender transitions” for children and “comprehensive sexual education.”

It further instructs the U.S. Secretary of State to halt all negotiations on the WHO’s “Pandemic Agreement” and the amendments to the International Health Regulations. It adds that “actions taken to effectuate such agreement and amendments will have no binding force on the United States.”

The order also revokes an executive order signed by Joe Biden in 2021 on “organizing and mobilizing the United States government” in response to COVID-19.

Trump has pulled the United States out of the UN’s pro-abortion, pro-LGBT Paris Climate Agreement as well.

Trump has issued several executive orders to combat “climate change” ideology, such as:
