House Speaker Paul Ryan declared during the annual March for Life rally in protest of abortion that “the pro-life movement is on the rise.”

His remarks, during the 45th annual March for Life Rally in Washington, D.C., capped off a week of actions from the Trump administration to offer protections for medical workers who have religious or moral objections to abortion, as well as guidance for states on how to restrict Medicaid funding from going toward Planned Parenthood. Other actions in the first year included allowing employers to opt out of providing contraception for religious or moral reasons and nominating judges that are likely to side with abortion restrictions.
