Conway: Trump presidency a ‘new day’ for anti-abortion movement

Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway on Friday declared a “new day” for the anti-abortion movement in the U.S. under President Trump.

Speaking at the annual March for Life rally in Washington, Conway said the Trump administration would fight alongside the movement to further its cause. 

“Steps away from here in the White House, a president and vice president sit at their desks and make decisions for a nation. As they sit there, they stand here with you,” Conway told an audience gathered at the Washington Monument.

“Their impassioned defense of life as presidential candidates showed a nation that courage and commitment can overcome indifference and insults, and their decisive actions as president and vice president will further this conversation and this cause.” 

Anti-abortion advocates have big hopes for the Trump administration, including the defunding of Planned Parenthood and other organizations that provide abortions and the nomination of a justice to the Supreme Court who is opposed to abortion.

Conway told March for Life attendees that the new administration would make their cause a priority over the next four years.

“Allow me to make it very clear: We hear you, we see you, we respect you and we look forward to working with you,” Conway said. “And yes, we walk, we march, we run, and we endeavor forward with you.”
