'I want more babies in the United States of America'

In his first public address since Inauguration Day, Vice President J.D. Vance assured attendees at the March for Life that the Trump administration has their back and will work to make it easier for families to raise their children.

Vance addressed the crowd gathered at the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., Friday. His speech comes less than a week after he took office as the 50th vice president of the United States.

Vance reflected on the state of the pro-life movement and the importance of working to “defend the unborn” and be “pro-family and pro-life in the fullest sense of that world possible,” telling the massive crowd that “our country has not yet stepped up in the way you have.” He declared that “our government certainly has failed in that important responsibility.”

He could get some good ideas from Gov. Tim Walz on how to do that. Parental leave. Health care. No hungry children. Supporting unions and fair wages. A great place to raise children.
Tax cuts for the rich won't cut it.
One of many links:
I am also thinking of children, many American born, afraid that ICE will come and take their Mommy or Daddy away.
I saw one dad apprehended and deported years ago after dropping his children off at Catholic school.
I know another family whose Dad was deported to Mexico. Two of his children born here were able to visit with an uncle, but his wife and older two never saw him again as he died of a heart attack.
When you have immigrant friends and hear their stories you see them not as pawns in a deportation game but as real people with families--yes, VP Vance--that deserve to be happy, too.

Vance and Trump were not the only elected officials to speak at the March for Life. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., also delivered remarks.

In a statement reacting to the annual event, Carol Tobias of the pro-life group National Right to Life, described “the support of President Trump, Vice President Vance, Majority Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson” as “a tremendous blessing and encouragement to the millions of pro-lifers all across the United States who spend their time, money and energy helping women and their children.”

Did any one of those speakers propose the kind of pro family economic policies Republicans routinely vote against, pretty much telling parents of newborns it's not their problem?
Pro-life and pro-family should be a single pathway--and saying trans girls will be banned from sports teams is nowhere, absolutely nowhere, near enough.
A pro-life speaker should say: The President wants to end head of household taxpayer status. As a pro-lifer, I will block that in Congress. For starters.

Are you trying to tell me that urgent concerns about the economic needs of families and family-friendly work policies don't belong in a March allegedly supporting life?

So it is Ok to ignore laws about blocking entrances of abortion providers but not ignore laws about immigration. I am against abortion but it does seem hypocritical to pick and choose what laws to follow and what criminals to release. Biden did that and now Trump/Vance just chooses another subset. Might be worth a try for an illegal in the USA to block a clinic. Perhaps they too might be forgiven?
