Vance used most of his time on the March For Life’s National Mall stage to tout the Trump administration’s pro-life track record.
Vice President JD Vance kicked off his second year in the White House with a return as the top speaker at the March For Life. In his headline speech, the Republican not only celebrated the victories that have saved countless babies from abortion over the last several years, but also committed the Trump administration to continuing its partnership with the pro-life movement.
“Our vision is simple. We want life to thrive in the United States of America,” Vance said mere days after he and Second Lady Usha Vance announced they are pregnant with their fourth child.
“ If we want to convince more Americans to choose life, we must also choose policies that make family life possible.” - @JDVance

Vance used most of his time on the March For Life’s National Mall stage to tout the Trump administration’s pro-life track record including historic pardons for the prayerful protestors persecuted and prosecuted by the Biden administration, undoing Biden-era taxpayer-funded abortion at home and overseas, and expanding conscience protections for medical professionals with religious or moral objections to ending life in the womb.
The VP also made sure to credit President Donald Trump and the U.S. Supreme Court for the historic Dobbs v. Jackson decision that overturned 50 years of abortion under Roe v. Wade.
“With the Dobbs decision, what we did, what the President did, what the Supreme Court did, was put a definitive end to the tyranny of judicial rule on the question of human life,” Vance said. “He shattered a 50-year culture of disposability, one that treated human life as expendable the moment that it became inconvenient. And he empowered our nation and our movement to build a culture of life from the grassroots up. Over the last year — [I’ve] got to brag a little bit — our administration has worked very hard to lead that effort and to pick up the pieces, to clean up the wreckages of five decades of bad policy on the question of life.”
Vance also announced an expansion of the Trump administration’s ban on taxpayer-funded abortion promotion by nongovernmental organizations. Under the broadened Mexico City policy, Vance said the administration will “start blocking every international [NGO] that performs or promotes abortion abroad from receiving a dollar of U.S. money.”
While the VP acknowledged there is still much work to do, something he referred to as “an elephant in the room,” he committed to “hear” and “understand” the pro-life movement’s concerns.
“Let me tell you something very simple. Under this administration, again, from the president of the United States, the vice president, you have an ally in the White House,” Vance promised. --->READ MORE HERE

America’s New Vice President to Speak at March for Life Friday
Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to address the March for Life rally in Washington D.C. on Friday.
Vance identifies as pro-life, though some pro-lifers have expressed disappointment by his compromises on the issue after President Donald Trump identified him as a potential running mate last year.
But Vance maintains he is pro-life, and he has repeatedly suggested that pro-lifers need to become more politically savvy if they are to save the lives of unborn babies, given that most voters in the country support allowing abortion in the majority of cases.
In July 2024 the Register described Vance’s Catholic journey. Today, the Register profiles Vance with respect to abortion, and with some background as to how he got there.
1. Who Is JD Vance?
James David Vance, 40, was born in 1984 in Middletown, Ohio into a dysfunctional extended family whose loves, loyalties and problems later became the stuff of his 2016 mega-selling memoir Hillbilly Elegy.
He spent much of his childhood living with his grandmother because his drug-addicted mother rarely provided a stable home. Violence, drunkenness, drug abuse and other self-destructive behavior ran through his extended family from rural Kentucky.
Vance exhibited some of those behavioral trends as a teenager. But a stint in the U.S. Marine Corps helped turn his life around. He came out of the service highly motivated, earned a bachelor’s degree from Ohio State in just one year and 11 months while working to support himself, and went on to become one of the few students from a state university to attend Yale Law School.
At Yale, he met his future wife, Usha, a Hindu whose parents are originally from India. They married in 2014. They have three small children and have a permanent home in Cincinnati.
The publication of Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis in June 2016 led to frequent television appearances and established him as a go-to source for reporters seeking to explain the social and political behavior of poor white people in Middle America. According to its publisher, the book has sold more than 3 million copies.
Vance worked for a law firm after graduating from Yale Law School. He later went into venture capital before deciding to run for the U.S. Senate from Ohio as a Republican in November 2022. He won, taking office in January 2023.
In July 2024, now-President Donald Trump selected Vance as his running mate in the November 2024 presidential election, and on Monday he was sworn in as the 50th vice president of the United States, shortly before Trump took the oath of office for his second (nonconsecutive) term.
