The newly elected women - nearly all Democrats - include the first Muslim women and first Native American women in Congress, as well as the first black women to represent their states in New England. Many cited Trump's presidency among the reasons they decided to run for office.Reuters

The "March for Life" by anti-abortion campaigners was in Washington Friday, attended by Vice President Mike Pence whose wife is due to teach at an anti-LGBT school, as announced earlier this week.Reuters
