March For Life

Tens of thousands of pro-life activists, mostly young Americans, came to Washington, D.C., today to take a stand for life. They were greeted by the terrific news that President Donald Trump has pardoned 23 Christian political prisoners. That’s exactly what they were: political prisoners -- in the United States of America.

These are Christian believers who take the Word seriously. Their actions were well within the tradition of American dissent throughout our entire history. But today’s progressive leftists thought it was just fine to throw them in jail.

We have been in communication with the Trump team all through 2024, during the campaign and in the months since the campaign. We told every person we knew how important it was for President Trump to free these Christian activists. Every step of the way, we were reassured that there was no doubt he would do it, and Donald Trump did it.

Some people I respect said last year, “It’s too bad we don’t have a pro-life candidate in the race.” That’s just silly. Donald Trump’s justices overturned Roe v. Wade. He is the first Republican presidential candidate willing to argue the abortion issue with Democrats on the debate stage.

And today, 23 people, some with handicapped children to take care of, are once again free people and reunited with their families.

Some Christians stayed home in November. There were prominent Christians who wrote articles saying the right thing to do was not vote. If Kamala Harris had won the election, more pro-life Americans would be on their way to prison.

I challenge every pastor and priest in America to say something from the pulpit this Sunday thanking Donald Trump for letting Christians who believe in the sanctity of life out of prison.

President Trump and Vice President Vance addressed the March For Life. Both men talked about how outrageous it was that American Christians were thrown into jail for exercising their right to protest. And both vowed that it must never happen again.

Today, the Department of Justice announced that it is dropping three pending cases against pro-life activists.
