More than 100,000 Americans from across the nation gathered in Washington on Jan. 18 for the annual March for Life, as President Donald Trump pledged in a pre-recorded video message to veto abortion-supportive bills.

“If they send any legislation to my desk that weakens the protection of human life, I will issue a veto and we have the support to uphold those vetoes,” Trump said in the recorded message. “We know that every life has meaning and that every life is worth protecting.”
