VP J.D. Vance – Pro Life Speech
By Hal Mitchell
Vice President JD Vance and Republican lawmakers defended President Donald Trump’s abortion-related policies at the 2026 March for Life on Jan. 23. “You have an ally in the White House,” Vance said in his speech.
Vance was the first political speaker at the march, and he was followed by House Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Chris Smith, R-New Jersey, the longtime leader of the House pro-life caucus.
In his speech, Vance said: “One of the things I most wanted in the United States of America is more families and more babies,” and touted the recent announcement that he and his wife, Usha, are expecting their fourth child.
The vice president said “So let the record show that you have a vice president who practices what he preaches. He also said that Trump’s Supreme Court appointments were vital in overturning Roe v. Wade, which he called “the most important Supreme Court decision of my lifetime.”
He said the decision “put a definitive end to the tyranny of judicial rule on the question of human life” and allowed the people to settle these disputes democratically.
Vance spoke about some of the pro-life victories during the first year of Trump’s second term. This included legislation that blocked Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid reimbursements as well as reinstating and expanding the Mexico City Policy, which bans federal tax money from being used to support organizations that promote abortion abroad.
