Speaking to a large crowd gathered at the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C., Vice President J.D. Vance called for national efforts to boost family growth and address the country’s declining birthrate. His speech marked a shift in focus from past government strategies that leaned on immigration to counterbalance population loss rather than investing in policies that support American families.
Vance spoke passionately about what he called a cultural drift away from the values that once prioritized family life. He criticized the widespread attitude that views children as financial and personal obstacles instead of essential to a thriving society. He urged Americans to embrace parenthood and recognize the importance of building strong families.
