Mr. Trump was the first sitting president to speak in person at the annual March for Life.

Demonstrators flooded the National Mall on Friday morning in anticipation of a historic moment for the anti-abortion movement: the first sitting president to address the annual March for Life in person.

President Trump did not disappoint them.

“Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House,” he told the crowd of religious-school groups and anti-abortion activists who packed the mall to hear him speak.

Past Republican presidents who opposed abortion sent video messages or delegated a surrogate to speak in their place at the march.
