January 22, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – For the first time in history, a U.S. president will attend in person and speak at the annual March for Life that is happening in Washington D.C. on Friday.
President Trump announced today that he will be speaking at the 2020 March for Life on January 24, an annual event attended by hundreds of thousands to protest legal abortion.
“We are deeply honored to welcome President Trump to the 47th annual March for Life," said Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life.
"He will be the first president in history to attend and we are so excited for him to experience in person how passionate our marchers are about life and protecting the unborn," she continued.
"From the appointment of pro-life judges and federal workers, to cutting taxpayer funding for abortions here and abroad, to calling for an end to late-term abortions, President Trump and his Administration have been consistent champions for life and their support for the March for Life has been unwavering. We are grateful for all these pro-life accomplishments and look forward to gaining more victories for life in the future," she added.
Trump tweeted today that he will see the "big crowd" on Friday.
The theme of this year’s March is, Life Empowers: Pro-Life is Pro-Woman.
In a surprise appearance last year via video link, President Trump addressed pro-life advocates at the 2019 March for Life, telling them that "every life is worth protecting" and that he will veto any legislation that crosses his desk that "weakens the protection of human life."
"Today, I have signed a letter to Congress to make clear that if they send any legislation to my desk that weakens the protection of human life, I will issue a veto. And, we have the support to uphold those vetoes. Every child is a sacred gift from God," he said in the pre-recorded video message.
“Today I am very proud to welcome tens of thousands of families, students, and people of all faiths and backgrounds to our nation’s capital for the 46th annual March for Life,” the President said at that time.
Trump is considered by many veteran pro-life activists to be the most pro-life president in history.
As president, Trump has reinstated and expanded the ban on foreign aid to abortion-involved groups (including International Planned Parenthood Federation), banned groups that commit or refer abortions from Title X family planning funds, overturned Obama-era regulations that barred states from defunding Planned Parenthood, and issued rules protecting Americans from being forced to subsidize abortion in government-mandated health insurance plans.
The president has also forcefully denounced abortion, calling attention to Democrats’ opposition to anti-infanticide legislation and calling on Congress to send him a ban on late-term abortion to sign. Most of his judicial nominees have pleased pro-lifers, as well.
In addition, the administration has consistently worked to defend life and oppose abortion at the United Nations, from resisting pro-abortion agenda items and resolution language to affirming that abortion isn’t a human right and promoting abstinence education.
This year, Trump declared January 22, the anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision imposing abortion on demand across the country, to be “National Sanctity of Human Life Day.”
In a proclamation issued yesterday, Trump declared that “every person — the born and unborn, the poor, the downcast, the disabled, the infirm, and the elderly — has inherent value” and said that the U.S. “proudly and strongly reaffirms our commitment to protect the precious gift of life at every stage, from conception to natural death.”
He touted his administration’s pro-life achievements at home and abroad.
The proclamation referenced his administration’s efforts to build “an international coalition to dispel the concept of abortion as a fundamental human right” and said that his administration would “oppose any projects that attempt to assert a global right to taxpayer‑funded abortion on demand, up to the moment of delivery.”
“We will never tire of defending innocent life — at home or abroad,” he promised.

The DC government will be up all night devising a plan to make the event unmanageable by blocking every intersection with security checkpoints.
Biden is corrupt. Any other words after the name Biden is just blah blah blah. Hope he gets the Democratic nod.
Libtards heads are going to explode over this..
His speech will get more ratings than the entire #seinfeldimpeachment crap..
They are going to just be bat crap crazy...
Hahaha. Love it!
I don’t count George Washington when I say that Trump is the best.
GW, being the first president, having been the Commanding General of the Continental Army, having turned down a kingship, is in a class that will be nearly impossible to surpass.
“I love his support, but not the security situation for him”.
He’ll probably be behind the thick glass to start off the march and he’ll be safe, He won’t be in the march.
Admirable.
Dear Lord, keep him safe.
Amen
Folks: Women, Men, their Children, their Grandchildren will be marching by the millions this coming Friday, January 24th, 2020 in Washington, DC and across the entire country to celebrate and support the “right-to-life-march” protecting the unborn.
It is always a massive positive, peaceful march....but this coming Friday....the POTUS, Donald J. Trump will be attending and partaking in the March!!! Usually over one million Americans march,.....but with the attendance Of POTUS, Trump...I suspect the numbers of people in the march could easily reach two million folks in Washington, DC and tons of thousands more across this great country.
I urge every American that can attend be there to support the Right-To-Life-March and to support our greatest POTUS ever, Donald J. Trump!!! Thank you!!!
And....Remember....next Tuesday, January 28th, 2020 a massive POTUS, Trump political Campaign Rally will be held in Wild wood, New Jersey. 100,000 tickets have been requested, thus far. Be there!!! www.donaldjtrump.com
The absolute true human right. The left is more into murder.
Awesome, as always.
Thank you, President Trump
Imagine the horror of the left. New survey says a majority of Americans find President Trump to be a “pleasant” surprise. Lol. What a Wonderful compliment to Mr. Trump. I thank and join you .
I am glad to see someone else get it right, too many people think the Trumpism is “Bigly” ....
Thank you. They probably aren’t New Yorkers. I forgive them.
Since no President has ever done it, it must be an impeachable offense.
I think the DC police are having a fun enough time at the Schiff Show.
HOORAY Chief. Thank you, sir.
nice!
It should become an annual event. Like the Correspondent’s dinner. Smh.
