Trump addresses March for Life in pre-recorded message on pro-life 'battle'

In a pre-recorded message for the annual March for Life, President Donald Trump encouraged participants and called for a renewed respect for life in American culture.

President Donald Trump on Friday addressed participants in the March for Life, an annual pro-life demonstration in D.C. 

"In 2026, as we celebrate 250 years since our founding fathers recognized the right to life in our Declaration of Independence, I want to thank every single one of you who was out on this winter day," he said.

Trump recalled that in 2020, he became the first sitting U.S. president to attend the March for Life, saying he was "proud" to do so. He remarked on the progress the pro-life movement had made since then, noting the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

The president painted the fight for the pro-life movement as a battle, saying that it was time to bring back a culture that supports life.

"This is a battle that must be fought, must be won, not only in the corridors of power, but above all, in the hearts and souls of the people," Trump said in a pre-recorded message. "That is why, under the Trump administration, we're strongly defending religious liberty. We're bringing back faith in America. We're bringing back God."
