Speaking before thousands at the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C., Vice President J.D. Vance urged Americans to focus on rebuilding the family unit and reversing the nation’s declining birthrate. In his address, he stressed the importance of prioritizing policies that make it easier for couples to have and raise children in today’s economy.
Vance criticized the longstanding government approach of using immigration to counteract falling birthrates rather than addressing the underlying issues that deter young families from growing. He argued that past policies have failed to support parents and emphasized the need for a cultural shift that celebrates family life.

Throughout his speech, Vance expressed deep concern over what he called a growing
culture of radical individualism, where family responsibilities are often viewed as obstacles rather than sources of fulfillment. He stated that reversing this mindset is crucial for the nation’s long-term prosperity and stability.
