Trump on Thursday pardoned 23 pro-life activists. The president addressed the March for LIfe crowd virtually, while Vance attended in person.

WASHINGTON—Thousands of demonstrators participated in the annual March for Life in Washington on Jan. 24 as a new administration takes shape and pro-life advocates continue working toward an end to abortion.

The event marks the 52nd anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Roe v. Wade and comes less than three years after the justices overturned it in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health.

“Just because Roe v. Wade is overturned doesn’t mean our job is done yet,” Isabella Garcia, 21, of Georgia, told The Epoch Times at the pre-rally concert.

President Donald Trump, who supported the overturning of Roe v. Wade, addressed the March for Life via video just days after he and Vice President JD Vance took office. A day before the event, Trump pardoned 23 pro-life activists whom the Biden administration had prosecuted for their activities at abortion clinics.

“I’m praying for President Trump and his cabinet that they will be led by the Lord to do what’s best for the country,” 70-year-old Steven Kator of Virginia, who was also at the concert, told The Epoch Times.

Kaelie Kennedy, 19, said about Trump: “He’s not God, but I think he’s a great president. He stands up for life and that’s what matters.”

In 2020, during his first term, Trump became the first president to speak at the March for Life. Vance, meanwhile, is scheduled to speak at the March for Life rally on Jan. 24.

“President Trump governed as a pro-life president during his first term, which resulted in a long list of accomplishments,” March for Life President Jeanne Mancini said in a statement on Jan. 23.

“We look forward to working with him and Vice President Vance as they dismantle the Biden Administration’s aggressive and unpopular abortion agenda and once again put wins on the board for vulnerable unborn children and their mothers.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) are also expected to speak at the rally, which will take place on the grounds of the Washington Monument. The March for Life will begin with a pre-rally concert at 11 a.m. ET, followed by the rally and a march to the Supreme Court on First St. Northeast at 1:00 p.m. ET.
