This is not the first time that Pence has spoken at the March for Life, having appeared on the main stage many times in past years.

In 2011, while still a member of Congress, Pence told those present for the annual pro-life gathering that "a nation that will not stand for life will not stand for long."

"The American people will make this right. We will restore the sanctity of life to the center of American law," stated Pence in 2011.

"Because every American knows in their heart, this is the greatest nation on earth because we acknowledge the God-given right to liberty, the pursuit of happiness and the unalienable right to life."
