House Majority Leader Eric Cantor told the rally, one of the key yearly events for the anti-abortion movement, that the Republican-controlled chamber would approve the measure halting taxpayer funding for the procedure next week. But Cantor acknowledged that the House Republican measure might ultimately be a symbolic one, saying that passage in the Democrat controlled Senate and acceptance by President Barack Obama &quot;will be a much tougher task.&quot; Opponents of the procedure failed in their attempts to attach new anti-abortion provisions to the $1.1 trillion spending bill Congress approved last week. I love my life&quot; and &quot;Stop abortion now.&quot; Groups of Catholic high school students chanted: &quot;We love babies, yes we do! We love babies, how about you?&quot; From Vatican City, Pope Francis used Twitter to back the rally.</p><br clear="all"/>
