At the March for Life in Washington, D.C., Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a speech urging Americans to embrace the importance of family and work toward reversing the nation’s declining birthrate. He spoke to thousands of attendees, emphasizing the need to move away from policies that prioritize population replacement through immigration instead of supporting families at home.
Vance addressed the crowd by highlighting the cultural shift that has led many to see parenthood as an obstacle rather than a blessing. He criticized societal values that promote individualism over family life and stressed that strong families are essential to a thriving nation. The Vice President stated that the government must do more to help young families overcome the financial and societal challenges that discourage them from having children.

He urged lawmakers to continue advancing policies that promote a culture of life and make it easier for families to grow.
