At the 74th annual National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, President Donald Trump delivered a passionate speech emphasizing what he described as the God-given right to life, while criticizing political leaders who avoid acknowledging God in public life. His remarks strongly resonated with pro-life supporters who view faith as central to protecting the unborn.
Addressing an audience of lawmakers, faith leaders, and national figures, Trump pointed to the Declaration of Independence as the moral foundation of the nation, stressing that America’s core rights come not from government, but from God. He underscored the belief that life, liberty, and human dignity are sacred principles rooted in faith.
Trump openly challenged what he sees as reluctance among some prominent politicians to reference God, contrasting their hesitation with his own willingness to do so. He reflected on the enduring power of the Declaration of Independence, describing it as a historic document that not only sparked the American Revolution but also inspired freedom movements around the world.
Speaking personally, Trump shared his admiration for the document, noting that it is displayed in the Oval Office and that he frequently reads it. He praised it as a work of profound moral and historical significance—one that has shaped nations, challenged tyranny, and helped lift millions toward greater freedom and opportunity.
