At the March for Life, Vice President JD Vance delivered a speech centered on history, faith, and the moral meaning of how societies treat children. Recalling an article on classical archaeology, Vance said, “One of the telltale signs of an ancient brothel in the pagan world was that you’d always find a large number of baby skeletons nearby,” adding that “discarding children was routine” in the ancient pagan world.
He told the crowd, “From the skeletons in brothels to the child sacrifice of the Mayans, the mark of barbarism is that we treat babies like inconveniences to be discarded rather than the blessings to cherish that they are.” In contrast, Vance pointed to Christianity, saying, “The inheritance of our civilization is something else. The fact that the Scripture tells us each life is fearfully and wonderfully made by our Creator.”
Vance emphasized that the March for Life goes beyond politics, declaring, “It’s not just about a political issue… It is about whether we will remain a civilization under God or whether we ultimately return to the paganism that dominated the past.”
He also criticized modern cultural messages, saying, “The far left in this country tells our young people that marriage and children are obstacles… They tell us that life itself is a burden.” He concluded with a clear affirmation to the crowd: “But we here at this march, we know that it’s a lie. We know that life is a gift.”
