Trump, Pence Deliver Surprise Remarks at March for Life
“When we look into the eyes of a newborn child, we see the beauty and the human soul and the majesty of God’s creation,” Trump said.
President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence made surprise remarks at Friday’s anti-abortion March for Life at Washington D.C.’s National Mall, The Washington Post reports. “When we look into the eyes of a newborn child, we see the beauty and the human soul and the majesty of God’s creation,” Trump told the crowd through a video feed. “We know that every life has meaning.” The president also reportedly promised the marchers he would veto any legislation that thwarts anti-abortion efforts. Pence, who appeared at the event in-person along with his wife, Karen Pence, recounted Bible verses to the marchers. “Listen to the truth,” he said. “Know that He who said, ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you’ also said ‘I will never forsake you.’” This year’s march reportedly had a “pro-science” theme and promoted studies published before the event. One study claimed that zygotes are separate from the mother and “living individuals” that direct “its own development.”
