Washington Today (1-19-24): Abortion opponents rally at annual March for Life in Washington, DC

Thousands of abortion opponents rally in snowy Washington, DC at the annual March for Life. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) tells the crowd that the God-given value of human life is an American political idea that goes back to the country's founding. And he says, “We can stand with every woman for every child, and we can truly build a culture that cherishes and protects life.” President Joe Biden announces another $5 billion in student loan debt forgiveness for 74,000 borrowers that include teachers, nurses and firefighters. House Budget Committee approves a bill to create a bipartisan fiscal commission to recommend ways to reduce the nation's budget deficit and shore up entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, with those recommendations guarantee fast-track votes up or down in the House and Senate. U.S. Conference of Mayors are meeting in Washington, and today were invited to meet with the president at the White House. He talked about signing the latest temporary government spending bill into law and the negotiations with Senate Republicans on border security and immigration reforms. White House spokesman John Kirby is asked about a phone call today between President Biden and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a day after the Prime Minister flatly rejected U.S. calls to start working towards a Palestinian state, even as Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza is still ongoing.
