Hundreds of thousands of people converged
on the National Mall in Washington, DC for
the 45th annual "March for Life" anti-abortion rally.
President Trump made history today by becoming
the first sitting US president to speak directly
at a pro-life rally.
Trump spoke to the activists via video feed
from the Rose Garden.
He declared January 19th "National Sanctity
of Life Day" and promised to defend the very
first right in the Declaration of Independence
-- and that is a right to life.
Earlier the Department of Health and Human
Services announced it is removing a Medicaid
guideline that limits how states can take
action against providers that perform abortions.
