Philadelphians Head To Pro-Life March In Washington

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A few thousand people from the Philadelphia Archdiocese are heading to Washington D.C. this morning to take part in the annual pro-life march.

With President Trump in the White House, there's a sense of imminent change among pro-life supporters that hadn't been felt for years.

Fr. Brian Kane is leading a group of seminarians busing to D.C. from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood.

"I'd say there's a marked difference this year with an increased amount of optimism about the new administration's response to the pro-life movement and an opportunity for us to share why we think his is such an important issue."

President Trump has already banned U.S. funding for foreign groups that pay for abortions. And he's signaled that he plans to nominate a pro-life justice to the U.S. Supreme Court.
