With the president as a speaker, online media generously covered the March for Life this year – but many reports left much to be desired. The March for Life annually celebrates life and challenges abortion around the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court case that legalized abortion nationwide. Each year, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Americans travel from around the country to Washington, D.C. to serve as a voice for the voiceless, despite the often harsh weather conditions. This year’s theme stressed that “Life Empowers: Pro-Life Is Pro-Woman.” But Americans wouldn’t know that by reading...

It may be difficult to believe in this enlightened age but there was a time not so long ago when the National Review was the intellectual heart of America's conservative movement. Its writers were sharp, gifted and irreverent. Their appearances on Fox News and other TV outlets made them rock stars. All that ended on January 22, 2016, when the magazine posted online its "Against Trump" issue. Once again, the editors proudly chose to stand athwart history rather than make it. They chose to lose with what they consider honor rather than win. 22 writers signed on, each penning...

Video from our friends at Students for Life of America shows just how many pro-lifers poured into the nation's capital to protest abortion on January 24, 2020.

Covington Catholic High School students are back in the news after a charter bus carrying a group of students and chaperones was involved in a fatal accident on its way back from the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C. One person was reportedly killed and several more injured in the collision that took place Saturday morning. (Via WLWT-TV Cincinnati) According to witnesses on the scene, a southbound car somehow entered the northbound lanes of the highway, striking the charter bus head-on."I saw a car come across the median and head toward me," said Ricky Lynn, a witness who was...

President Trump said that “religious liberty is under siege” when asked why he decided to become the first president in history to attend the March for Life in Washington, D.C., on Friday. "Religious liberty is under siege. If you look at everything that the folks here stand for that we’re surrounded by, that’s under siege," Trump told Fox News. He went on to say that it was an “honor” to be at the march. Trump addressed the March for Life crowd on Friday for about 15 minutes in a speech that touted the several ways his administration has supported pro-life...

White House photo of Trump at March for Life. Like Donald Trump, I attended my first March for Life this year. I didn’t march. Instead, I was there to record the faces and screams of the angry ugly left as I often do at these sorts of events . Stunningly, the angry ugly left didn’t show up. That's understandable because whenever the momentum is against the left, they ignore their opposition. I see this firsthand all the time when it comes to voter fraud and especially when racial discrimination is done by the traditional victims of discrimination . What...

President Trump’s historic speech to the March for Life crowd on Friday reminds us that there is often a very line (and, quite often, very blurry) line between religion and politics. And as much as some of us would like to separate those two entities, putting each of them in their own category, it’s not always so easily done. On the one hand, the realm of religion – in the best sense of the word – is not political at all. It calls for human beings to come into right relationship with God, whether those human beings live in a...

If I'm going to be completely honest, I cried a little as I listened to Donald Trump speak at the 47th March for Life, a massive annual pro-life rally in Washington, D.C. The tears were caused by a combination of things, including lack of sleep, I'm sure. There are a lot of beautiful events before and after the march, and reunions with wonderful friends from throughout the country. But my reaction also had to do with the contrast of some of the president's words with the bile that we often hear in politics of late, including at his own...

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 24, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – At the 47th annual March for Life, marchers carried signs thanking President Trump, incorporating popular culture, sharing the pro-life message in general, and representing schools and pro-life clubs. Here are some of them.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of babies have survived abortions, and many of them are living in the world today. This week, they posed a question to abortion activists through a new ad, “Can you look me in the eye and say I should have been aborted?” The two-minute ad premiered at the March for Life on Friday in front of hundreds of thousands of people, featuring the stories of abortion survivors Melissa Ohden, Josiah Presley, Claire Culwell and nearly a dozen others. Producer/director Lyric Gillett is the executive director of Faces of Choice, a new organization dedicated to raising awareness of...

An amazing new time-lapse video shows thousands upon thousands of pro-life people marching for life through the streets of Washington D.C during today’s March for Life. It’s always difficult to capture the exact number of people who participate in the March for Life ,the rally and various pro-life events in the nation’s capital throughout the day. But this tremendous video gives you a visual glimpse of the tremendous outpouring of pro-life support for the March for Life as it streams through the streets of the nation’s capital. Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins released a time-lapsed video of...

The CBSN online channel didn't provide live coverage of the president's remarks to the March for Life on Friday -- they mentioned it for a few seconds before leaping into more impeachment analysis. But in the minutes before impeachment coverage on Wednesday, they ran an exclusive interview from Davos, Switzerland with Planned Parenthood acting CEO Alexis McGill Johnson. Reporter Kate Smith wasn't asking the tough questions. KATE SMITH: What is the status of abortion in the United States today? ALEXIS JOHNSON: Here we are [at the Davos conference] talking about the fourth industrial revolution, and we are still talking about...

Below is a full transcript of the remarks President Donald Trump made at the 2020 March for Life. His speech marked the first time a president has attended the March for Life and addressed it in person. Thank you very much and thank you, Jeanne. It is my honor to be the first president in history to attend the March for Life. [applause] We are here for a very simple reason: to defend the right of every child, born and unborn, to fulfill their God-given potential. [applause] For 47 years, Americans of all backgrounds have traveled from across the country...

President Trump on Friday became the first sitting president to address the annual March for Life rally in Washington, appealing to the anti-abortion movement with a call to protect the sanctity of life while accusing Democrats of becoming more "radical" on the issue. Trump, who for years was pro-choice, has since embraced a pro-life position and made clear on Friday that he plans to continue that agenda as he seeks reelection. Underscoring Trump's stance, his administration hours earlier moved to challenge California over a rule that mandates insurance plans cover elective abortion. "It is my profound honor to be the...

The City Pages hit, and Planned Parenthood not liking the billboards, is not just about a disagreement over a controversial issue. It’s about money. Two pro-life billboards were taken down in St. Paul, after the billboard stand owner—who remains unknown—threatened the billboard company, Clear Channel, that the stand owner would not renew the lease with Clear Channel unless the billboards were taken down.One billboard gave the website and number for abortion pill reversal (877-558-0333), and another the phone number and website for women facing an unplanned pregnancy, OptionLine.org (800-712-4357). Both advertisements were taken out by Pro-Life Action Ministries (PLAM).PLAM strategically...
