Vice President Pence late Wednesday touted the effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare, calling a House vote set Thursday on revised GOP legislation "one of the defining victories for life."

"When we vote to repeal and replace Obamacare we will finally vote to defund Planned Parenthood," Pence said to a standing ovation at the 10th anniversary "Campaign for Life" gala in Washington, held by Susan B. Anthony List, which favors of abortion restrictions.

The House will vote Thursday on a bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

GOP leaders will not wait for a new Congressional Budget Office analysis of the changes. That analysis will eventually provide insight into the bill's effects on coverage and its cost.

Earlier this week, President Trump insisted he will eventually end government payments to Planned Parenthood, despite a new budget deal that will continue the funding.

During an interview with Fox News, the president said "at the appropriate time, things will happen."

Pence said Wednesday the country now has an administration "that's filled top to bottom with people who stand without apology for life."

"Life is winning in America," he said during the gala, according to multiple reports.

He referred to the passage of the former president's signature healthcare legislation as a "disappointment for the sanctity of life."

"President Trump is fighting every single day," Pence said, "to restore the sanctity of life to the center of American law."
