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.
