The national director of Priests For Life hailed Friday's "March For Life" on the National Mall — and President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence for their help in making America "a nation of life."
In an interview on Newsmax TV's "Newsmax Now," the Rev. Frank Pavone, who also serves as president of the National Pro-Life Religious Council, said it was "heartening" that a recent poll found 76 percent of voters approve of abortion restrictions.

"We see cultural progress, we see progress in the legislative process and the crowds' enthusiasm reflected that today," Pavone said, adding that Trump and Pence spoke with "compassion… about the women who feel they have no choice and said, 'look, we love them, we're going to help them, and we're going to help this nation be a nation of life.'"
"What I always say when we hear people talk about abortion, they say 'freedom of choice,'" Pavone said. "The people who get abortions don't do so because of freedom of choice, they do so because they feel they have no freedom and no choice. We in the pro-life movement, we in Priests for Life, all these groups, we're here to say we have a better choice for you, take our hands."
