A message from President Donald Trump was also played for the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-life politicians kicked off the speeches of the day.

You are part of a great movement united around the truth that every life is precious, that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God, and has &#8230; value and worth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fight may be long but we have the truth on our side and I am confident that at the end of the day, truth will win, life will win,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wZqvoyjAOKY?si=CkxV_NKV1Pxe1nBj\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>House Speaker Mike Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaker of the House Johnson noted that &#8220;As one of his first official acts, President Trump just freed and pardoned nearly two dozen wrongfully imprisoned pro-life activists.

But in residency, she was introduced to abortion for babies with health conditions, and was told it wasn&#8217;t a doctor&#8217;s place to judge. Rather than healing, they were talking about killing, yet she began committing abortions \u2014 believing she was helping women.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Until one day, and I can&#8217;t tell you what happened, why, but suddenly the blinders came off and for the first time, I actually saw the baby I was about to kill with horror and for the first time I actually felt the evil presence in the room of what was behind abortion,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Somehow, I did that abortion. I don&#8217;t know how. I never did another abortion in my life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abortion Survivor Josiah Presley<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next, Josiah Presley from the Abortion Survivors Network shared that when his birth mother was two months pregnant with him, she underwent a D&amp;C abortion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the time, they thought everything had gone as planned and they sent her home. But it wasn&#8217;t until a few months later that she realized that the abortion had actually failed and I was still very much so alive,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vLRAAkRJuwc?si=Wkuz7VVe5KggxYnI\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Born with part of his arm missing, Presley was adopted by a family in the U.S. &#8220;Today I march to be a voice for those who are voiceless like I was all those years ago.

They gave me a hint of inspiration that I could do it and that gave me the courage and bravery to do what I hadn&#8217;t seen anyone else do \u2014 surf with one arm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qu3dyvhf9R4?si=CqngcJMynOJoG-W8\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>She required that same bravery when she became pregnant for the first time. &#8220;I remember the moment when I first had my very first pregnancy test, I had a similar fear. I didn&#8217;t think I could do it. I don&#8217;t know where that came from. I came from a great family, a Christian household. I was married to a wonderful man and all of a sudden I was rejecting this God-given gift and beauty that was only a blessing. What made me think I wasn&#8217;t ready?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She reminded the crowd that none of us are above the fear and the struggles that women face with an unexpected pregnancy. &#8220;They are just being fed lies and the more they hear the lies the more they believe them. &#8230; I had all the support in the world. Imagine the woman who doesn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>President Trump<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The final two speeches came from President Trump (who spoke via pre-recorded message) and Vice President Vance.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Trump became the first president in history to speak at a March for Life. This year, he thanked the marchers for showing &#8220;extraordinary love and compassion&#8221; for preborn children, and said he would work to care for young families.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4w8s1NHvx_Y?si=aX1wrxgotLSAGKQ9\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will work to offer a loving hand to new mothers and young families,&#8221; he said, &#8220;and we will support adoption and foster care. We will protect women and vulnerable children under my leadership. A reformed Department of Justice will finally investigate the radical left attacks on churches and crisis pregnancy centers and we will bring perpetrators to justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vice President JD Vance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vice President Vance then took the stage for the final speech in his first official public appearance as vice president.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are proud to march with you and yes, we will be back next year. The excitement, the passion, the unwavering conviction that every single person here on the National Mall clearly feels \u2014 it is deeply moving to me and means more to President Trump and I than I could possibly say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;The event theme this year is Life: Why We March. And there are obvious answers to the implicit question it poses. We march to protect the unborn. We march to proclaim and live out the sacred truth that every single child is a miracle and a gift from God. Now, each time Usha and I welcomed our own children into the world, we saw firsthand the indescribable beauty of new life&#8230; And watching all three of our kids grow, learn, and become who they are today has been the single greatest blessing of our lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gGGJkvGIfaA?si=qAMkSywXgATt41QG\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;The task of our movement is to protect innocent life. It&#8217;s to defend the unborn and it&#8217;s also to be pro-family and pro-life life in the fullest sense of that word possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He stated, &#8220;We failed a generation, not only by permitting a culture of abortion on demand, but also by neglecting to help young parents to achieve the ingredients they need to lead a happy and meaningful life. A culture of radical individualism took root. One where the responsibilities and joys of family life were seen as obstacles to overcome, not as personal fulfillment or personal blessings. Our society has failed to recognize the obligation that one generation has to another is a core part of living in a society to begin with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;We need a culture that celebrates life at all stages, one that recognizes and truly believes that the benchmark of national success is not our GDP number or our stock market but whether people feel that they can raise thriving and healthy families in our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vance also spoke about Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefings-statements\/2025\/01\/statement-of-administration-policy-h-r-21-born-alive-abortion-survivors-protection-act\/\">endorsement<\/a> of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which unfortunately <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/senators-block-bill-care-babies-survive-abortions\/\">failed<\/a> in the Senate this week, and spoke of how the government will no longer direct FBI raids on the homes of pro-life activists or put pro-life activists in prison. He spoke of Trump&#8217;s pardoning the pro-lifers imprisoned by the Biden-Harris DOJ.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It stopped on Monday (inauguration day) and we&#8217;re not gonna let it come back to this country,&#8221; he said. &#8220;&#8230; This administration stands by you, we stand with you, and most importantly, we stand with the most vulnerable and the basic principle that people exercising their right to protest for the most vulnerable should never have the government go after them ever again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/end-taxpayer-dollars-to-planned-parenthood\/\"><b><i>Tell President Trump, RFK, Jr., Elon, and Vivek: <\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/end-taxpayer-dollars-to-planned-parenthood\/\"><b><i>Stop killing America\u2019s future.
