Thousands gathered for the annual rally, protesting both the practice and legality of abortion.

We have taken bold action to protect the religious freedoms for doctors, nurses, and charities like the Little Sisters Of The Poor.”
He also said: “Today, I have signed a letter to Congress to make clear that if they send any legislation to my desk that weakens the protection of human life. I will issue a veto.”
