The reason for National Sanctity of Human Life Day, stated Trump, is "to affirm the truth that all life is sacred, that every person has inherent dignity and worth, and that no class of people should ever be discarded as 'non-human.'"

Trump made the proclamation on Friday, as hundreds of thousands of pro-life pilgrims converged upon Washington DC for the annual March for Life.

Trump emphasized that science is on the side of life in the proclamation, mentioning it twice.

"Science continues to support and build the case for life," he states. "Medical technologies allow us to see images of the unborn children moving their newly formed fingers and toes, yawning, and even smiling."

"Those images present us with irrefutable evidence that babies are growing within their mothers' wombs—precious, unique lives, each deserving a future filled with promise and hope," Trump continued. "We can also now operate on babies in utero to stave off life-threatening diseases. These important medical advances give us an even greater appreciation for the humanity of the unborn."
