Vice President J.D. Vance addressed a massive crowd at the March for Life in Washington, D.C., encouraging Americans to embrace parenthood and work toward increasing the country’s birthrate. Speaking for the first time since taking office, Vance called for a shift in national priorities to support families and create an environment where children are seen as blessings rather than burdens.
Vance pointed out that for years, the government has relied on immigration to compensate for declining birthrates instead of investing in policies that support American families. He criticized what he described as a cultural mindset that prioritizes self-interest over the responsibilities and joys of raising children, emphasizing that strong families are essential for a prosperous future.
