“There is still much road ahead to travel together,” Vance told attendees at the annual March for Life demonstration, which draws tens of thousands of people annually to Washington. Attendees rallied on the National Mall before heading to the Supreme Court.
Vance cited the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v Wade, calling it "the most important Supreme Court decision of my lifetime.” He said President Trump's leadership and appointment of conservative jurists “put a definitive end to the tyranny of judicial rule on the question of human life.”
He also lauded the “historic expansion of the Mexico City policy," the broadening of a ban on U.S. foreign aid for groups supporting abortion services, to include assistance going to international and domestic organizations and agencies that promote gender identity as well as diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
“We believe that every country in the world has the duty to protect life," Vance said, to a sea of supporters waving signs reading “Choose Life,” “Make More Babies” and “I am the Pro-Life Generation.”
“It’s not our job as the United States of America to promote radical gender ideology,” he said. "It’s our job to promote families and human flourishing.”
“I want more babies in the United States of America," Vance said in addressing last year's March for Life.
Earlier this week, Vance and his wife announced in a social media post they are expecting a son, their fourth child, in late July.
“Let the record show, you have a vice president who practices what he preaches," Vance said on Friday.
