WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump vowed to stand with anti-abortion activists Friday as he became the first sitting president to speak at the March for Life. Trump called it his “profound honor” to appear at the event, which is one of the movement’s highest profile and most symbolic events. He told a crowd of thousands that, “Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House.” He also used his speech to attack Democrats as embracing “radical and extreme positions.” Trump once described himself as “pro-choice in every respect.” But on Friday, he was hailed by speakers and on signs as “the most pro-life” president in American history.
