>> THANK ALL OF YOU.
ON BEHALF OF PRESIDENT DONALD 
TRUMP -- 
[ CHEERING ]
-- MY WIFE, KAREN, OUR DAUGHTER,
CHARLOTTE, I WOULD LIKE TO 
WELCOME YOU ALL TO WASHINGTON 
D.C. FOR THE 44th ANNUAL MARCH 
FOR LIFE.
>> IT'S A GOOD DAY.
I'M DEEPLY HUMBLED TO STAND 
BEFORE YOU TODAY.
DEEPLY HUMBLED TO BE THE FIRST 
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED 
STATES TO EVER HAVE THE 
PRIVILEGE TO ATTEND THIS 
HISTORIC DAY.
MORE THAN 240 YEARS AGO OUR 
FOUNDERS WROTE WORDS THAT HAVE 
ECHOED THROUGH THE AGES.
THEY DECLARED THESE TRUTHS TO BE
SELF-EVIDENT THAT WE ARE, ALL OF
US, ENDOWED BY OUR CREATOR WITH 
CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, AND 
AMONG THESE ARE LIFE, LIBERTY, 
AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
44 YEARS AGO OUR SUPREME COURT 
TURNED AWAY FROM THE FIRST OF 
THESE TIMELESS IDEALS.
BUT TODAY THREE GENERATIONS 
HENCE BECAUSE OF ALL OF YOU AND 
THE MANY THOUSANDS WHO STAND 
WITH US IN MARCHES LIKE THIS ALL
ACROSS THE NATION, LIFE IS 
WINNING AGAIN.
 IN AMERICA.
THAT IS EVIDENT IN THE ELECTION 
OF PRO-LIFE MAJORITIES, IN THE 
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
BUT IT IS NO MORE EVIDENT IN ANY
WAY THAN IN THE HISTORIC 
ELECTION OF A PRESIDENT WHO 
STANDS FOR A STRONGER AMERICA, A
MORE PROSPEROUS AMERICA, AND A 
PRESIDENT WHO I PROUDLY SAY 
STANDS FOR THE RIGHT TO LIFE 
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP ACTUALLY ASKED 
ME TO BE HERE WITH YOU TODAY.
HE ASKED ME TO THANK YOU FOR 
YOUR SUPPORT, FOR YOUR STAND FOR
LIFE AND FOR YOUR COMPASSION FOR
THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF 
AMERICA.
ONE WEEK AGO TODAY ON THE STEPS 
OF THE CAPITOL WE SAW THE 
INAUGURATION OF THE 45th 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
I CAN TELL YOU FIRSTHAND OUR 
PRESIDENT IS A MAN WITH BROAD 
SHOULDERS AND A BIG HEART.
THIS VISION, THIS ENERGY, HIS 
OPTIMISM ARE BOUNDLESS, AND I 
KNOW HE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT 
AGAIN.
FROM HIS FIRST DAY IN OFFICE, HE
HAS BEEN KEEPING HIS PROMISES TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
I LIKE TO SAY OVER THERE AT 1600
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, WE'RE IN 
THE PROMISE KEEPING BUSINESS.
THAT'S WHY ON MONDAY PRESIDENT 
TRUMP REINSTATED THE MEXICO CITY
POLICY TO PREVENT FOREIGN AID 
FROM FUNDING ORGANIZATIONS THAT 
PERFORM ABORTIONS WORLDWIDE.
THAT'S WHY THIS ADMINISTRATION 
WILL WORK WITH THE CONGRESS TO 
END TAXPAYER FUNDING OF ABORTION
AND ABORTION PROVIDERS, AND WE 
WILL DEVOTE THOSE RESOURCES TO 
HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR WOMEN 
ACROSS AMERICA.
AND THAT'S WHY NEXT WEEK 
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WILL 
ANNOUNCE A SUPREME COURT NOMINEE
WHO WILL UPHOLD THE GOD GIVEN 
LIBERTIES ENSHRINED IN OUR 
CONSTITUTION IN THE TRADITION OF
THE LATE AND GREAT JUSTICE 
ANTONIN SCALIA.
LIFE IS WINNING IN AMERICA.
TODAY IS A CELEBRATION OF THAT 
PROGRESS.
THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE.
I LONG BELIEVE THAT A SOCIETY 
CAN BE JUDGED BY HOW WE CARE FOR
OUR MOST VULNERABLE, THE AGED, 
THE INFIRM, THE DISABLED, AND 
THE UNBORN.
WE'VE COME TO A HISTORIC MOMENT 
IN THE CAUSE OF LIFE, SKPS WE 
MUST MEET THIS MOMENT WITH 
RESPECT AND COMPASSION FOR EVERY
AMERICAN.
LIFE IS WINNING IN AMERICA FOR 
MANY REASONS.
LIFE IS WINNING THROUGH THE 
STEADY ADVANCE OF SCIENCE THAT 
ILLUMINATE WHEN LIFE BEGINS MORE
AND MORE EVERY DAY.
LIFE IS WINNING THROUGH THE 
GENEROSITY OF MILLIONS OF AD
ADOPTIVE FAMILIES WHO OPEN THEIR
HEARTS AND HOMES TO CHILDREN IN 
NEED.
LIFE IS WINNING THROUGH THE 
COMPASSION OF CARE GIVERS AND 
VOLUNTEERS, AT CRISIS PREGNANCY 
CENTERS AND FAITH-BASED 
ORGANIZATIONS ADMINISTER TO 
WOMEN IN THE CITIES AND TOWNS 
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
AND LIFE IS WINNING THROUGH THE 
QUIET COUNSELS BETWEEN MOTHERS 
AND DAUGHTERS, GRANDMOTHERS AND 
GRANDDAUGHTERS, BETWEEN FRIENDS 
ACROSS KITCHEN TABLES AND OVER 
COFFEE AT COLLEGE CAMPUSES, THE 
TRUTH IS BEING TOLD.
COMPASSION IS OVERCOMING 
CONVENIENCE, AND HOPE IS 
DEFEATING DESPAIR.
IN A WORD, LIFE IS WINNING IN 
AMERICA BECAUSE OF ALL OF YOU.
SO I URGE YOU TO PRESS ON.
AS IT IS WRITTEN, LET YOUR 
GENTLENESS BE EVIDENT TO ALL.
LET THIS MOVEMENT BE KNOWN FOR 
LOVE, NOT ANGER.
LET THIS MOVEMENT BE KNOWN FOR 
COMPASSION, NOT CONFRONTATION.
WHEN IT COMES TO MATTERS OF THE 
HEART, THERE IS NOTHING STRONGER
THAN GENTLENESS.
I BELIEVE WE WILL CONTINUE TO 
WIN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE 
RISING GENERATION IF OUR HEARTS 
FIRST BREAK FOR YOUNG MOTHERS 
AND THEIR UNBORN CHILDREN, AND 
IF WE, EACH OF US, DO ALL WE CAN
TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY ARE WITH
GENEROSITY, NOT JUDGMENT.
[ CHEERING ]
TO HEAL OUR LAND AND RESTORE A 
CULTURE OF LIFE, WE MUST 
CONTINUE TO BE A MOVEMENT THAT 
EMBRACES ALL, CARES FOR ALL, AND
SHOWS RESPECT FOR THE DIGNITY 
AND WORTH OF EVERY PERSON.
ENSHRINED ON THE WALLS OF THE 
JEFFERSON MEMORIAL ARE THE WORDS
OF OUR THIRD PRESIDENT WHO 
ADMONISHED US SO LONG AGO TO 
REMEMBER THAT GOD WHO GAVE US 
LIFE GAVE US LIBERTY.
ON BEHALF OF THE PRESIDENT OF 
THE UNITED STATES AND MY LITTLE 
FAMILY, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR 
STAND FOR LIFE.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR 
COMPASSION.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE FOR 
THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF 
AME
AMERICA.
BE ASSURED, BE ASSURED, ALONG 
WITH YOU, WE WILL NOT GROW 
WEARY.
WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL WE 
RESTORE A CULTURE OF LIFE IN 
AMERICA FOR OURSELVES AND OUR 
P
POSTERITY.
THANK YOU, AND GOD BLESS YOU, 
AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES
