On Friday thousands of supporters of the pro-life cause gathered to participate in the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., and heard from President Donald Trumpand Vice President JD Vance, who were sworn into office earlier this week.

In a prerecorded video, Trump pledged that in his second term his administration would “again stand proudly for families and for life, we will protect the historic gains we have made and stop the radical Democrat push for a federal right to unlimited abortion on demand up to the moment of birth and even after birth.”

The 47th president also promised to support adoption and foster care and to investigate attacks on churches and crisis pregnancy centers. The president also noted his recent pardoning of pro-life activists.

“I will also end the weaponization of law enforcement against Americans of faith,” said Trump. “I’m releasing the Christian and pro-life activists who were persecuted by the Biden regime for praying and living out their faith.”

The vice president struck a similar note, making it clear that pro-life activists should no longer fear the Justice Department.
