Vance: Choosing Life Affirms God’s Design
Faith Facts
- Vice President JD Vance declared that America’s abortion debate is a choice between following God or embracing pagan values.
- He praised the Trump administration’s support for pro-life activism, highlighting pardons for activists and ending taxpayer funding of research using aborted fetal cells.
- Vance contrasted a Judeo-Christian respect for life with past pagan practices that disregarded the value of babies.
The March for Life remains the nation’s largest annual pro-life demonstration, gathering believers to uphold Biblical dignity for every child.
Vance emphasized that civilization rooted in Christian morals cherishes children as precious gifts, not burdens.
“This is shocking to us because we grew up in a Christian culture and were formed by religious values. Even those of us who aren’t particularly faithful, it’s a shocking thing to hear,” said Vance.
He reminded attendees that, “The mark of barbarism is that we treat babies like inconveniences to be discarded rather than the blessings to cherish that they are.”
Invoking Psalm 139, Vance affirmed that every human is “fearfully and wonderfully made” by God.
He said the March for Life is about preserving a civilization under God rather than returning to the paganism of the past.
Vance also rejected the left’s claims that marriage and children hold people back, asserting that strong families form the bedrock of a godly society and our country.
He encouraged Americans to seek meaning in family and the gift of every child, not in empty pursuits.
