Thousands of pro-lifers descended upon Washington DC Friday afternoon to march in the 45th annual March For Life, which occurs on or near the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that nationalized legal abortion. We went to check it out. Here are some of the things we saw.

1. Donald Trump

.@POTUS: "It is the gift of life itself – that is why we march. That is why we pray. And that is why we declare that America's future will be filled with goodness, peace, joy, dignity, and life for every child of God." #MarchforLife pic.twitter.com/FPhu1Wu44i — Fox News (@FoxNews) January 19, 2018

President Trump addressed the marchers via satellite from the White House Rose Garden. He was the first sitting president to ever directly address the march.

“You come from many backgrounds, many places, but you all come together for one beautiful cause, to build a society where life is protected, cherished.” – President Donald Trump pic.twitter.com/ScE0XgUeOY — The Federalist (@FDRLST) January 19, 2018

We were there to watch.

2. The Veep

Vice President Pence addressed the crowds, too.

“45 years ago, the US Supreme Court turned its back on the inalienable right to life, but in that moment our movement began.” – VP Mike Pence pic.twitter.com/djzmfVeLxG — The Federalist (@FDRLST) January 19, 2018

You can watch his remarks below.

From preventing taxpayer dollars from funding abortions overseas to empowering states to respect life in Title X to nominating judges to uphold the God-given liberties in the Constitution, the Trump admin has been a tireless defender of life. #MarchForLife https://t.co/hw1k60TfHi — Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) January 19, 2018

4. A Marching Band

Students from a Catholic, all-boys, African-American school in New Orleans were on a multi-city field trip retracing the Underground Railroad. Their journey ended at the March for Life, because, as Father Tony Ricard told me, they want the students to learn about their responsibility to fight for the lives of others.

Father Tony tells me the group ended their journey at the #MarchForLife "show them how their ancestors fought for their lives and how we now are called to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves." https://t.co/9QmCyUWqOt — Bre Payton (@Bre_payton) January 19, 2018

7. Former Abortion Clinic Employees

Shelley Guillory, who worked as a nurse at an abortion facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, says she took the job not knowing they performed abortions. Two weeks into the job, when she came to work, the furniture was rearranged and there were canisters everywhere, at which point they informed her that it was “procedure day.”

After Guillory’s 20-year-old son died in 2013, she took three months off work. When she went back to work, a friendly sidewalk counselor her gave her Abby Johnson’s card. Johnson runs an organization that empowers abortion-industry employees to leave the industry. She says Johnson helped her to leave in 2013. She now counsels teens who have had abortions and works with them “through these scars.”

If you or someone you know is working in the abortion industry and seeking resources to find a new career, go here.
