March for Life attendees react to JD Vance speech: ‘It was amazing’

Vice President JD Vance was met with a warm reception from pro-life activists at the March for Life event this past Friday, marking his first public appearance since the inauguration. Vance used this platform to highlight President Donald Trump’s recent pardons of several pro-life activists who had been prosecuted by the Biden Department of Justice. He emphasized the importance of pro-family governmental policies, stating, “I want to see more babies in the United States of America.”

In addition to Vance’s address, Trump also delivered remarks to the March for Life crowd through a video message. The presence of Vance at the event was seen as a strong indication that the new Trump administration stands in solidarity with the pro-life movement, giving activists a sense of optimism for the future.

Amy Lewis, a pro-life advocate from Virginia, expressed her excitement at Vance’s presence, stating, “It was amazing that he was here. We were able to see him and to see that our new administration supports life as much as we do. It just really kind of drives it home that we have an administration that’s here to support us and to support our beliefs.”

Sarah Morales Wade, an activist from Houston, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the inspiration that comes from seeing high-ranking officials join the fight for life. Elizabeth O’Brien, another member of the Houston group, described Vance’s speech as “amazing” and highlighted the reassurance it provided regarding the Trump administration’s support for the pro-life cause.

Isaac Desrosiers, a student at Franciscan University in Ohio, Vance’s home state, commended the vice president for his genuine commitment to Catholic values and his advocacy for the rights of unborn children. Desrosiers expressed optimism about the future of pro-life legislation under the Trump administration, hoping for the implementation of more laws in support of the pro-life movement.

Overall, Vance’s presence at the March for Life event served as a powerful symbol of the Trump administration’s support for the pro-life cause. Activists and supporters alike left the event feeling encouraged and hopeful for the future of pro-life advocacy in the United States.
