Cardinal Dolan, in his prayer at the rally, thanked God for a country "where the dignity of each human person" is "a self-evident truth."
"Our prayers are the more fervent" on this day, he said, noting that "our supplication this afternoon is the more hopeful as we rejoice in the solidarity of the hundreds of thousands" participating in the March.
Pence insisted that the pro-life movement must uphold the dignity of human life of all vulnerable persons.
"Society can be judged by how we care for the most vulnerable," he said, pointing to the aged, infirm, disabled, and unborn as examples. "We've come to a historic moment in the cause of life," he added, and "we must meet this moment with respect and compassion for every American."
"Life is winning in America," he said, "and today is a celebration of that progress, the progress that we've made in that cause."
Speakers at the rally also insisted that mothers be cared for and supported.
"This is a time of incredible promise for the pro-life, pro-adoption movement," Conway said, stressing that the pro-life movement must help women "who face unplanned pregnancies."
"They should know that they are not alone," she said, "they too are protected and cared for, and celebrated."
"May God bless the women who are struggling with unplanned pregnancies," said Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah), "may we help them discover their power and their potential."
