The annual March for Life<\/a> on Friday was the second one in post-Roe v. Wade America, and a snowy one at that.<\/p>\n

But the weather didn’t stop droves of people from coming out to march against abortion in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

The major pro-life event featured speakers ranging from religious leaders to the highest echelons of the American government.<\/p>\n

\u2018MARCH FOR LIFE\u2019 REVEALS THEME FOR 2024 EVENT IN POST-ROE UNITED STATES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the top four moments from the 2024 March for Life.<\/p>\n

The snow may have deterred some, but it didn’t stop a large crowd of pro-life Americans from marching on Washington.<\/p>\n

Pro-life Americans descended on Washington even amid the snowfall that blanketed the nation’s capital on Friday.<\/p>\n

March for Life president Jeanne Mancini told Fox News Digital that seeing “huge crowds in the snow, especially the young people; the powerful personal testimonies \u2014 from Aisha to Jean Marie to Antonio to the wonderful surprise visit from Coach Jim Harbaugh, the day has been beautiful!”<\/p>\n

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who ascended to the gavel in October, spoke at the March for Life, saying it is a “pivotal time to promote quality healthcare for both women and their unborn children.”<\/p>\n

Johnson noted that the House passed the Pregnant Students Rights Act this week to cheers and took a jab<\/a> at the Biden administration’s proposed rule to restrict “pregnancy resource centers” funding.<\/p>\n

“Because being pregnant while finishing your degree can be really difficult,” Johnson said. “But women should not be presented with a false choice of being a mom or being a student.”<\/p>\n

“Right now, you should know, the Biden administration is proposing a regulation to restrict funds to pregnancy resource centers,” he also said. “We know that those are the centers that states rely on to assist expecting moms and dads.”<\/p>\n

“And that action would undercut that important work, the important material support that expecting and first-time mothers get from these centers,” Johnson continued, adding that the House-passed Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act would “prevent that regulation from coming into effect.”<\/p>\n

“Who could be opposed to that?” he pondered.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n

Declaring the snowy day “football weather,” 2024 national title champion and University of Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh gave a surprise address at the March for Life on Friday.<\/p>\n

Harbaugh joined the stage<\/a> to introduce former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson, who was slated to speak.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great example that you’re setting,” Harbaugh said to the crowd. “It’s testimony for the sanctity of life.”<\/p>\n

“It’s a great day for a march!” the champion coach exclaimed to cheers. “It’s a great day, this is football weather!”<\/p>\n

GOP lawmakers in Congress were not afraid to show their support for Friday’s March for Life and its participants, with several senators and House members posting videos about the event.<\/p>\n

“Today is the 51st annual [March for Life], where Americans from across the country gather in Washington to celebrate and stand for the life and rights of the unborn,” Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, wrote Friday on X.<\/p>\n

“We must create a culture of life throughout our country not just to uphold the Constitution, but to honor God – the author of life,” he continued.<\/p>\n

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., posted on X, “Less than 2 yrs ago, SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. Because of this, tens of thousands of innocent babies in our country have been saved.<\/p>\n

“It wouldn’t have been possible without decades of hard work, advocacy, & unbroken faith from pro-life advocates like those at [March for Life].”<\/p>\n

“Welcome to all our Tennesseans who are in our nation\u2019s capital for the 2024 March for Life!” Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., wrote on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Thank you for [the] great work you are doing every day to defend life.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
