Vance, Trump Tout Administration’s Record on Abortion at March for Life Rally

At the March for Life, Vice President JD Vance praised Trump-era anti-abortion actions, including pardons and policy expansions, while acknowledging ongoing movement debates, organizers said.

  • On Jan. 23, 2026, Vice President JD Vance took the stage at the March for Life on the National Mall, touting the Trump administration's abortion record while President Donald Trump sent a supportive video.
  • Rooted in the 2022 Dobbs ruling, the March for Life is an annual Washington, D.C. rally held around the Roe v. Wade anniversary and remains central to the anti-abortion movement.

  • Vance also made personal remarks, noting he and second lady Usha Vance are expecting a son, their fourth child, and framed abortion using ancient brothels and Psalm 139.
