The March for Life is a movement born out of love. You love your families. You love your neighbors. You love our nation and you love every child born and unborn because you believe that every life is sacred, that every child is a precious gift from God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4TNjvpzCpA0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>After calling life &#8220;the greatest miracle of all&#8221; President Trump thanked those who work in the pro-life movement, especially those who work to equip parents with the means to provide for their children many of whom may have otherwise been lost to abortion. Trump also spoke about the fact that the United States is <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/washington-post-fact-check-united-states-abortion-laws-extreme-compared-rest-world\/\">one of only seven<\/a> countries that permits elective late-term abortion along with China and North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Under my administration, we will always defend the first right in the Declaration of Independence, and that is the right to life,&#8221; stated President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Trump urged the Senate to vote for the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/senate-vote-bill-ban-abortion-20-weeks\/\">Pain Capable\u00a0Unborn Child Protection Act<\/a> which he vowed to sign. The vote is scheduled to take place by the end of January. He stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We are protecting the sanctity of life and the family as the foundation of our society, but this movement can only succeed with the heart and the soul and the prayer of the people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And most importantly of all, it is the gift of life itself,&#8221; he said in his final remarks. &#8220;That it is why we march. That is why we pray. And that is why we declare that America&#8217;s future will be filled with goodness, peace, joy, dignity,\u00a0and life for every child of God.
