Vice President JD Vance delivered a powerful pro-life address at the annual March For Life event Friday afternoon, and sounded very much like a president himself.
Vance joked that he is leading by example, as he noted that he and his wife Usha just announced this week they are expecting their fourth child.
“It will be our 3rd baby boy, so we’ll take whatever prayers you can give — we certainly need them,” he quipped.

The Washington Examiner explained:
Ahead of the March for Life, the Trump administration announced that funding from the National Institutes of Health will no longer go toward research or grants that use aborted fetal tissue. The Small Business Administration also announced it will review whether Planned Parenthood illegally received $88 million in pandemic-era loans.
“President Trump delivered, and his Supreme Court Justices delivered, the most important Supreme Court decision of my lifetime — because what the Dobbs decision did was put a definitive end to the tyranny of judicial rule on the question of human life,” Vance said.
“Under this administration… you have an ally in the White House!” he assured the crowd.
“Today, the Far-Left in this country tells our young people that marriage and children are obstacles—that it’s irresponsible, even immoral…to encourage our young people to raise a family… But we here at this march, we know that it’s a lie. We know that life is a gift. We know that babies are precious… We know that family is not just the source of a great joy, but it’s part of God’s design…” Vance said.

Journalist Eric Daugherty shared a video clip from Vance’s speech along with excerpts:
WOW! JD Vance is so good at this, he’s got the March for Life crowd going CRAZY 🔥
“Throwing priests and grandmothers in prison for praying outside a clinic – THAT’S OVER. We stopped it!”
“Where the previous administration mandated taxpayer funding for abortions, including travel costs, across the entire government, this administration ended it!”
“We have secured religious freedom in the United States of America once again. That was important. We have ended the censorship of Christians, Jews, and other Americans of faith who are punished simply for following their faith in public life.”
“We have expanded conscience protections for health care workers and defended faith-based foster care and adoption.”
“We gutted Biden-era rules and ensured that no nun, no nurse, no pharmacist, and no physician has to check their faith and their values at the door of their workplace.”
“And under the last administration, under President Biden and congressional Democrats, the power of government we know was marshaled against us. Against our faith, against our families, and most importantly, against the most vulnerable.”
“That stopped with the Trump administration, and IT IS NOT COMING BACK!”
