ICYMI: ‘More Babies In The United States Of America’: Trump, Vance Signal New Era At March For Life; Vance Says He Wants ‘more babies’ in the US as He and Trump Vow to Protect Unborn Children at March for Life
‘More Babies In The United States Of America’: Trump, Vance Signal New Era At March For Life:
Marchers celebrated the end of the Biden regime’s lawfare and the new possibilities of advancing life with Republican control of government.
As the federal government weighed protecting survivors of violent abortion procedures and the civil rights of peaceful pro-life protesters, tens of thousands of pro-life advocates marched in the nation’s capital on Friday. They celebrated the life-affirming sea change in D.C. after Republicans took control of the legislature and the presidency.
But attendees and nonprofit leaders alike know that winning the election was only the beginning. Now, with President Donald Trump sworn in and Republicans in control of the House and Senate, the real work can begin.
As marcher Rose Cordier, a high school student from Cincinnati, Ohio, told The Federalist, the reason she traveled and weathered below-freezing temperatures was to “abolish abortion in America” completely — the goal of nearly everyone at the march. But she is excited to see the Trump administration “fund pro-life facilities and try and eliminate funding for abortion facilities.”
Many attendees supported those same measures, not only as a way to stop the government-funded killing of unborn babies, but also to create a society where it is easy to decide to give life to a child with the help of organizations like crisis pregnancy centers.
‘More Babies in the United States of America’
Vice President J.D. Vance, who spoke at the rally, certainly gave the pro-lifers a boost of confidence with his speech, in which he stressed not only being pro-life, but also pro-family. He underlined the need to have “more babies in the United States of America.”
“We march to protect the unborn. We march to proclaim and live out the sacred truth that every single child is a miracle and a gift from God,” Vance told the crowd to raucous applause. “The task of our movement is to protect innocent life, it’s to defend the unborn, and it’s also to be pro-family and pro-life in the fullest sense of that word possible.”
“We need a culture that celebrates life at all stages, one that recognizes and truly believes that the benchmark of national success is not our GDP number or our stock market, but whether people feel that they can raise thriving and healthy families in our country,” he continued. “We failed a generation, not only by permitting a culture of abortion-on-demand, but also by neglecting to help young parents achieve the ingredients they need to lead a happy and meaningful life. A culture of radical individualism took root, one where the responsibilities and joys of family life were seen as obstacles to overcome, not as personal fulfillment or personal blessings.”
Vance’s speech came amid a fight in Congress to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which Trump endorsed, as well as efforts to curtail the FACE Act. The Biden administration utilized the FACE Act in its lawfare scheme to jail peaceful pro-life protesters — 23 of whom Trump recently pardoned in one of his first actions as the 47th president. —>READ MORE HERE
Vance says he wants ‘more babies’ in the US as he and Trump vow to protect unborn children at March for Life:
Vice President JD Vance proclaimed he wants “more babies in the United States of America” on Friday in his debut speech, echoing President Trump’s promise to fight back against unrestrained abortion access.
“Our society has failed to recognize the obligation that one generation has to another is a core part of living in a society to begin with. So let me say, very simply, I want more babies in the United States of America,” Vance declared.
Vance added that the US had “failed a generation” by celebrating abortion access and not aiding young couples with the tools they need to support a family — saying the country had embraced a “culture of abortion on demand.”
“We need a culture that celebrates life at all stages, one that recognizes and truly believes that the benchmark of national success is not a GDP number or our stock market, but whether people feel that they can raise thriving and healthy families, in our country,” Vance said.
“We march to protect the unborn, we march to proclaim and live out the sacred truth that every single child is a miracle and a gift from God,” he went on.
The Catholic vice president has long championed pro-life causes and said he would be back in 2026 to speak again at the March for Life, which is an annual march around the time of the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
Trump was the first president to attend and speak at the march back in 2020, but sent a video message instead this year as he traveled to North Carolina and California to survey the damages brought by Hurricane Helene and the LA wildfires. —>READ MORE HERE
