Fox News reports:
Vice President Mike Pence has agreed to speak at Friday’s March for Life, the annual anti-abortion demonstration in Washington. In a statement, the March for Life says neither a president nor a vice president has ever spoken at the event, now in its 44th year.
One of President Donald Trump’s top advisers, Kellyanne Conway, is also on the list of speakers. In a statement, the president of the March for Life, Jeanne Mancini, calls Pence “a friend and champion of the pro-life cause his entire career.” The organization predicts tens of thousands of demonstrators will rally on the National Mall and then march to the Supreme Court.
