President Donald Trump tweeted his support Friday for the March for Life, telling those gathered in opposition of abortion their march has his “full support.”
“The #MarchForLife is so important,” Trump tweeted as the march was beginning to get underway. “To all of you marching — you have my full support!”

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
While previous Republican presidents have expressed support for the march — Ronald Reagan through a pre-recorded video message and George W. Bush through a phone call — Trump is the first to send high level representatives to address the march real-time and in person.
“Mike Pence will be speaking at today’s #MarchForLife — You have our full support!” Trump added in a follow up tweet.
