The leaders of the pro-life movement are used to having the ear of the president, as they had with Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush and George W Bush.
During their respective administrations, they addressed the March for Life via telephone, but this year the event marking the Roe v. Wade anniversary had the highest-ranking government official ever to address the crowd in person.
"Life is winning in America, and today is a celebration of that progress," the official, Vice President Mike Pence, told the March for Life rally at the National Mall on January 27.
