March For Life 2018: Trump, Paul Ryan Address Rally (VIDEO)

Two days before the anniversary of the Women's March — a rally organized in opposition to the election of President Donald Trump — pro-life proponents participated in the nation's largest anti-abortion rally. The 2018 March For Life took place in Washington D.C. on Friday and several high-profile conservatives were in attendance, including Trump who appeared via video satellite. (You can watch a recap of Trump's comments below.)

The march, founded by Nellie Gray, first took place in 1974 and rally organizers say they will march every year till Roe V. Wade — the landmark Supreme Court case that recognized a woman's constitutional right to have an abortion — is overturned.

"Though the march’s slogan, “a voice for the voiceless,” refers to what participants characterize as unborn children, it might well double for the participants themselves, many of whom see their values and their faith as at odds with an increasingly secular culture," Vox.com explains. "Although Gray passed away in 2012, the March for Life organization continues to operate under president Jeanne Mancini, an author and Catholic activist."

Along with President Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan spoke at the event. Below is a full list of speakers:

• President of the United States Donald J. Trump, via video satellite
• House Speaker Paul Ryan
• Pam Tebow, mother former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow
• Matt Birk, former NFL player, and wife Adrianna Birk
• U.S. Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA)
• U.S. Representative Dan Lipinski (D-IL)
• U.S. Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ)
• Sr. Bethany Madonna, Sisters of Life
• Metropolitan Tikhon, Archbishop of Washington, Metropolitan of All America and Canada, Orthodox Church of America
• Bishop Vincent Matthews Jr., President of the International Missions Department of the Church of God in Christ

Transportation officials in Washington D.C. announced several road closures for Friday.

F Street NW will be closed between 6th Street NW and 7th Street NW from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Rolling street closures will be in place on 7th Street NW from F Street to Jefferson Drive NW starting at around 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Rolling street closures will also be in place on Constitution Ave NW from 12th Street to 1st Street between 1:15 - 3:30 p.m.

This year, the Women's March is framed around a "national voter registration tour" ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. The main event takes place in Las Vegas on Jan. 21 but sister marches will be held around the country the weekend of Jan. 20-21.
