Spicer said the ban shows the "world what a value we place on life," as Americans witnessed a pro-life White House in action for the first time in eight years.

At the first official White House press conference under the new president, Spicer was asked by a reporter about Trump signing the pro-life executive order and whether the president sees "the reduction of abortions as an American value."

Spicer seemed confident and at ease speaking on the subject as he responded: "I think the president, it's no secret, has made it very clear that he's a pro-life president. He wants to stand up for all Americans, including the unborn.

"And I think the reinstatement of this [Mexico City] policy is not just something that echoes that value but respects taxpayer funding as well, and ensures that we're standing up not just for life—for life of the unborn, but [also for] taxpayer funds that are being spent overseas to perform an action that is contrary to the values of this president—and I think continue to further illustrate not to just the folks here in this country but around the world what a value we place on life."

Asked what the expectations should be from the Trump White House among attendees of the March for Life in Washington on Friday, Spicer said, "Their expectations should be that he's going to stand up [for] and value life, born or unborn—same as he's said throughout the last year and a half, that he's going to stand up and protect life, promote it, and instill policies that promote life, that promote adoption, that help support young women, that help support funding of agencies and clinics that support women's health.
