Watch Live Stream March For Life: Mike Pence Says 'Life Is Winning In America'

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Pro-life activists, who seek to limit legal abortion, took to the streets Friday in Washington, D.C., in the March for Life, an annual demonstration that protests the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision.

Vice President Mike Pence and Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway spoke at this year's march. Pence was the first sitting president or vice president to address the event in person.

"Life is winning again in America," Pence told the crowd.

The march was scheduled to kick off with a rally at the Washington Monument around noon before the actual marching begins.

This will be the 44th March for Life, which has taken place every year since the 1973 landmark Supreme Court decision that ruled abortion legal.

"The March for Life began in Washington, DC, as a small demonstration and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world," the website for the march says.

President Trump, speaking to Republican leaders in Philadelphia on Thursday, decried media coverage of the March for Life. He said the crowds for the March for Life may be bigger than the Women's March on Washington, which drew hundreds of thousands of people to the nation's capital.

"You're going to have a lot of people coming on Friday," Trump said. "You will have a very large crowd of people. I don't know as large or larger. Some people said it will be larger, pro-life people, and they say the press doesn't cover them."
