During his first public event since taking office, Vice President JD Vance gave a strong pro-family speech about how the government has “failed a generation” by “neglecting to help young parents achieve the ingredients they need to [lead] a happy and meaningful life.”

Vance appeared at the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., on January 24, where he gave a pro-family speech about creating a culture in the U.S. that values life and enables young people and parents to thrive.

“A culture of radical individualism took root — one where the responsibilities and joys of the family life were seen as obstacles to overcome, not as personal fulfillment or personal blessings,” he explained. “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. I want more happy children in our country, and I want beautiful young men and women who are eager to welcome them into the world and eager to raise them,” Vance added, prompting cheers from the massive crowd of pro-lifers. “And it is the task of our government to make it easier for young moms and dads to afford to have kids, to bring them into the world and to welcome them as the blessings that we know they are here at the March for Life.”

“Now, it should be easier: easier to raise a family, easier to find a good job, easier to build a home to raise that family in, easier to save up and purchase a good stroller, a crib for a nursery. We need a culture that celebrates life at all stages,” he continued. “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.”

Vance went on to celebrate President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon 23 pro-life activists who had faced political persecution from the pro-abortion Biden administration for simply peacefully protesting outside of abortion facilities.

“I want to be clear that this administration stands by you. We stand with you. And most importantly, we stand with the most vulnerable and the basic principle that people exercising the right to protest on behalf of the most vulnerable should never have the government go after them ever again,” Vance said.

He then promised the American people that under Trump’s second term, “no longer will the federal government direct FBI raids on the home of people like Mark Houck and other Catholic and Christian activists who are fighting for the unborn every single day.”

“And no longer will our government throw pro-life protesters and activists, elderly grandparents, or anybody else in prison. It stopped on Monday, and we’re not going to let it come back to this country,” Vance added.

The vice president ended his pro-family speech with some advice that Breitbart News said was “reminiscent of the Bible verse: ‘And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.’”

“There was a point when I would get frustrated with people who didn’t see what we saw. I would get frustrated that people could look at a picture of a baby on an ultrasound and see, not a human being, but just a clump of cells,” Vance said. “But one of the things that being a father has taught me, and one of the things that being in politics has taught me over the last couple of years, is that it is a blessing to know the truth. And the truth is that unborn life is worthy of protection.”

“So please go forth, not with frustration, but with joy,” he concluded. “We are joyful to march for life. We are joyful to know that the picture on an ultrasound, that is a picture of a baby with hopes and dreams and potential to come.”
