POTUS and VP Pence Give Surprise Addresses at the March for Life to Declare ‘Every Life Has Meaning’

At the 46th annual March for Life event in Washington, D.C, on Friday — a rally that protests abortion — the president and vice president made a surprise visit to show their support.

Vice President Mike Pence delivered a speech, telling the crowd, “President Donald Trump is the most pro-life president in American history.”

Spoke w/ @BenShapiro & all his listeners at @March_For_Life about how @POTUS has been STANDING for LIFE. We've reinstated the Mexico City Policy, allowed states to defund Planned Parenthood & nominated judges who will uphold our God-given liberties enshrined in our Constitution.

The vice president, accompanied by the second lady Karen Pence, urged the anti-abortion activists to “stand with that love and compassion.”

“You stand for life,” he said. “And know that we will stand with you until that great day comes where we restore the sanctity of life to the center of American law.”

“Know that He who said, ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you’ also said ‘I will never forsake you,’” Pence said during his speech, citing a Bible verse.
