This is frickin’ awesome. Apparently never in the history of the March for Life has a sitting Vice President ever addressed the prolife demonstration. And Mike Pence is going to be the first.
Honored to meet with Pro-Life leaders in my office tonight. Just told them I look forward to addressing National @March_for_Life on Friday. pic.twitter.com/vLSO9TOXKY

Marc Lotter, a spokesman for the vice president, said Pence would appear in person.
“We are very pleased to welcome Vice President Mike Pence to speak at this year’s March for Life. His appearance marks a historic moment for the pro-life movement as Vice President Pence will be the first vice president or president to speak at the March for Life,” Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life, said in a statement.
Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush addressed the event via telephone but did not attend.
Pence is an ardent opponent of abortion and signed some of the most restrictive abortion legislation into law while serving as governor of Indiana.
One of the more obvious examples of the left-wing bias of the media is that they barely cover the enormous prolife march on Washington, but run to document even the smallest left-wing protest of unbathed socialist scummy hipsters.
I’m thinking they’re going to have a tough time ignoring it this year.
God bless Mike Pence for doing this.
