I don't think the importance of this little appearance today can be overstated. Never -- never ever -- has any president appeared in person at the March for Life. Until today.
I don't know who may have written the speech for him, but, have mercy, it was someone who understands what we care about, and who knew how to hit every note with precision.
One simple example: Who remembers to put the word "Almighty" in front of "God" these days? I can tell you one person who did -- President Trump:
"Every child is a precious and sacred gift from God. Together, we must protect, cherish and defend the dignity and the sanctity of every human life. When we see the image of a baby in the womb, we glimpse the majesty of God's creation."
"Every human life, born and unborn, is made in the holy image of Almighty God."
The news media will no doubt under-report this speech while predictably over-reporting what's happening at the Capitol not far from this spot.
But among a certain group of us, it will be shared. And shared again. Because, we no longer need the news media to know what happened of significance today. We can figure it out on our own.
