President Trump will deliver live video remarks to attendees of the 45th annual March for Life on Friday, becoming the first president to do so in the history of the massive anti-abortion event.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed the upcoming appearance on Wednesday, noting that Trump will speak to the crowd via satellite from the Rose Garden.

Vice President Mike Pence, who participated in the march last year, is also slated to speak to attendees.

Previous Republican presidents, including George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, have addressed March for Life participants by phone but never in-person or via satellite video.

Trump has regularly supported anti-abortion causes as president, such as advocating for the end of federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

The president's upcoming address comes as his administration is reportedly planning to offer certain protections for healthcare workers who decline to perform abortions over religious objections.
