Vice President Mike Pence will make a more low-key appearance at the annual March for Life Friday, speaking at a dinner rather than at the larger rally held on the National Mall in protest of abortion.

“Throughout his extensive career, Vice President Pence has remained exemplary in his commitment to protecting the sanctity of unborn life and it is our utmost privilege to have a pro-life champion of his stature address this year’s Rose Dinner,” Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life, said in a statement.
