Vice President JD Vance will speak at the National March for Life in Washington, D.C., on Friday, The Daily Wire can first report. The event will mark Vance’s first public remarks since he was sworn in as vice president of the United States this week. Donald Trump was the first president to ever speak at the March for Life when he attended the 47th annual March for Life in 2019, several years before Roe v. Wade was overturned. Trump is currently scheduled to be in California visiting areas destroyed by the wildfires during the 2025 March for Life. “When we see the image of a baby in the womb, we glimpse the majesty of God’s creation,” Trump said in 2019. “When we hold a newborn in our arms, we know the endless love that each child brings to a family.  When we watch a child grow, we see the splendor that radiates from each human soul.  One life changes the world.  From my family — and I can tell you, I send love and I send great, great love.” He continued: “And from the first day in office, I’ve taken a historic action to support America’s families and to protect the unborn. And during my first week in office, I reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy, and we issued a landmark pro-life rule to govern the use of Title X taxpayer funding.  I notified Congress that I would veto any legislation that weakens pro-life policies or that encourages the destruction of human life. At the United Nations, I made clear that global bureaucrats have no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that protect innocent life.Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House.” WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 24: U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at the 47th March For Life rally on the National Mall, January 24, 2019 in Washington, DC.

It comes two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, due in large part to Trump’s Supreme Court appointments. Besides Vance, speakers include Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Majority Leader John Thune, surfer Bethany Hamilton, Republican New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith, pro-life activist Lila Rose, and more. News of Vance’s upcoming speech came shortly after the Daily Wire reported that Trump will pardon pro-life activists imprisoned by the Biden Justice Department within days. The plight of the imprisoned pro-lifers is an immediate priority to Trump’s team, and they will likely be pardoned within days, two sources with knowledge of the matter shared with The Daily Wire. Trump issued a sweeping executive order on Monday that granted full pardons for about 1,500 criminal defendants related to the January 6 Capitol Riot, making good on a campaign promises to free those targeted by the Biden administration. His actions prompted many in the pro-life community to hope that he would similarly pardon the pro-life activists targeted by the Biden Justice Department under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
