Vice President Mike Pence attends March for Life: The pro-life movement ‘is winning in America’

At the 2017 March for Life, Vice President Mike Pence delivered a speech that demonstrated not a political position, but a heart position of a man who loves preborn babies, moms in crisis pregnancies, and adoption. Despite the abortion industry’s claims that the Trump administration is laced with hate for women, Pence demonstrated nothing but love.

His wife, Karen, introduced him saying, “I have never met anyone who has more compassion for children and for the American people.” And as Pence took the stage to a roaring crowd, he showed himself to be one of pro-lifers’ greatest allies.

Assuring Americans that President Donald Trump will be key to the cause of life, Pence reminded the crowd that Trump had reinstated the Mexico City Policy to prohibit international funding or promotion of abortions. Trump also extended the policy to “global health assistance.” The impact of his extended policy demonstrates a particularly strong pro-life stand. Pence said there was more to come, adding that “at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we are in the promise-keeping business.”

He promised that the Trump administration would work closely with Congress to end taxpayer funding of both abortion and abortion providers. He dispelled the lie that that money would no longer help poor and needy women, adding with vehemence: “We will devote those resources to healthcare services for women across America.”

Pence further indicated that pro-lifers would be pleased with the Supreme Court nominee that Trump has said he will announce next Thursday, promising the nominee will “uphold the God-given liberties enshrined in our Constitution in the tradition of the late and great Justice Antonin Scalia.”

Then, the vice president shifted from the political side of life to the personal side:

And “life is winning,” he said, explaining:

Revealing a tender heart for the compassion of the woman who is pregnant and might consider abortion, he continued:

Pence’s devotion to the people behind the statistics was evident:

As he ended his celebrated speech to the massive crowd, it was clear his speech not only made March for Life history, but it also set the tone of the Trump administration’s stance on life, catapulting it to the forefront of its priorities:

Whatever this administration does to develop a stronger culture of life, one thing is clear from Pence’s speech: it will be done with love and dignity for the mothers as well as their babies. And that’s a sentiment all pro-lifers can celebrate.
