Standing For Life

Friday’s March For Life was an extraordinary reminder of why elections matter. For the past four years, every lever of power and every bureaucracy in the federal government was dedicated to ensuring that the number of abortions remained as high as possible.

Those days are over!

President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance addressed the March For Life. Both men boldly and proudly made the case for life. For example, President Trump said:

“In my second term, we will again stand proudly for families and for life. We will protect the historic gains we have made. . . We will work to offer a loving hand to new mothers and young families, and we will support adoption and foster care. . .

“To all of the very special people marching today in this bitter cold, I know your hearts are warm and your spirits are strong because your mission is just very, very pure: to forge a society that welcomes and protects every child as a beautiful gift from the hand of our Creator.” 

Vice President Vance fired up the crowd by offering a bold vision for America. Vance said:

“I want more babies in the United States of America. I want more happy children in our country, and I want beautiful young men and women who are eager to welcome them into the world and eager to raise them. . .

“Now, it should be easier to raise a family, easier to find a good job, easier to build a home to raise that family in, easier to save up and purchase a good stroller, a crib for a nursery.

“We need a culture that celebrates life at all stages, one that recognizes and truly believes that the benchmark of national success is not our GDP number or our stock market, but whether people feel that they can raise thriving and healthy families in our country.”

Trump and Vance also addressed the un-American persecution of peaceful pro-life activists. President Trump declared:

“Under my leadership, a reformed Department of Justice will finally investigate the radical left attacks on churches and crisis-pregnancy centers, and we will bring perpetrators to justice. . . I will also end the weaponization of law enforcement against Americans of faith. . . Never again will religious persecution be allowed to happen in America.”

Vance echoed that pledge, saying:

“With [Donald Trump’s] return to office, no longer will the federal government direct FBI raids on the homes of . . . Catholic and Christian activists who are fighting for the unborn every single day. And no longer will our government throw pro-life protesters and activists, elderly grandparents or anybody else in prison. It stopped on Monday, and we’re not going to let it come back to this country.”

In addition to speaking at the March For Life, President Trump took important actions Friday. He reinstated the Mexico City policy and ordered federal agencies to enforce the Hyde Amendment. With these actions, Trump ensured that American taxpayers will not be subsidizing abortions here or overseas.

The Trump/Vance administration has had an amazing first 100 hours! And they’re just getting warmed up!
