Jan 23, 2026 \/ 15:29 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance and Republican lawmakers defended President Donald Trump\u2019s abortion-related policies at the 2026 March for Life on Jan. 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have an ally in the White House,\u201d Vance said in his speech.<\/p>\n

Vance was the first political speaker at the march, and he was followed by House Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Chris Smith, R-New Jersey, the longtime leader of the House pro-life caucus.<\/p>\n

Trump and Senate Majority Leader John Thune addressed the marchers in prerecorded video messages.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Vance said: \u201cOne of the things I most wanted in the United States of America is more families and more babies,\u201d and touted the recent announcement that he and his wife, Usha, are expecting their fourth child.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo let the record show that you have a vice president who practices what he preaches,\u201d Vance said.<\/p>\n

The vice president said Trump\u2019s Supreme Court appointments were vital to overturning Roe v. Wade, which he called \u201cthe most important Supreme Court decision of my lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the decision \u201cput a definitive end to the tyranny of judicial rule on the question of human life\u201d and allowed the people to settle these disputes democratically.<\/p>\n

Vance spoke about some of the pro-life victories during the first year of Trump\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n

This included legislation that blocked Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid reimbursements as well as reinstating and expanding the Mexico City Policy, which bans federal tax money from being used to support organizations that promote abortion abroad.<\/p>\n

The vice president also spoke about the restoration of conscience protections for health care workers, the expansion of the child tax credit, and the pardoning of pro-life activists who were convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding a culture of life requires persuasion,\u201d Vance said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat effort is going to take a lot of time, it\u2019s going to take a lot of energy, and it\u2019s going to take a little bit of money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The vice president briefly addressed some criticism the administration has received from members of the pro-life movement who have been unhappy with certain developments.<\/p>\n

Some pro-life advocates have expressed concern about the lack of action on the abortion pill mifepristone, which is under review by the Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n

Others have raised objections to Trump urging lawmakers to be \u201cflexible\u201d on taxpayer-funded abortions in negotiations about extending Affordable Care Act tax credits.<\/p>\n

Vance asked people to look at the successes.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook where the fight for life stood just one decade ago and look where it stands today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In his video message, Trump celebrated many of the same pro-life policies as Vance and thanked marchers for their efforts to \u201cstand up for the unborn.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to fight for the eternal truth that every child is a gift from God,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

Johnson said a shift in policy from the Trump administration is that success is not just measured by the economy but also \u201cthe strength of the American family.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also spoke about the actions taken to ban Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid reimbursements, saying: \u201cWe finally defunded big abortion and it was a long time coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery single child deserves the opportunity to fulfill their God-given potential,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

Smith referenced the recent Marist Poll commissioned by the Knights of Columbus, which showed most Americans supporting at least some restrictions on abortion and approving of the work of pregnancy resource centers.<\/p>\n

He also spoke strongly against the chemical abortion pill mifepristone, which he called \u201cbaby poison that kills the unborn child by starving the baby boy or baby girl to death\u201d and said it poses health risks to women.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must today recommit to protecting the weakest and most vulnerable,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n

In a video message, Thune called abortion an \u201cevil that\u2019s too often brushed to the side.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Republicans \u201cwill continue to do everything we can in Congress to support moms and protect preborn children.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the speeches from lawmakers, March for Life President Jennie Bradley Lichter urged participants to contact their senators amid ongoing negotiations related to health care.<\/p>\n

Lichter encouraged them to ask their senators to oppose any health care legislation that excludes the Hyde Amendment, which bans taxpayer funding for abortion.<\/p>\n
