On Friday, Donald Trump will be the 1st sitting “President” to speak at the anti-abortion March For Life event in Washington DC in person, where he’ll be speaking to several thousand attendees who espouse anti-choice sentiments.
Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush also addressed March For Life attendees, albeit via telephone.
Conservative and anti-abortion news outlets such as CBN, PJ Media, LifeSiteNews, Catholic News Agency (affiliated with EWTN), and Life News, are celebrating this news. Pro-choice organizations such as NARAL have criticized this move as a distraction from his ongoing scandals.
