By Matthew McDonald, National Catholic Register - Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to address the March for Life rally in Washington D.C. on Friday... Vance identifies as pro-life, though some pro-lifers have expressed disappointment by his compromises on the issue after President Donald Trump identified him as a potential running mate last year... But Vance maintains he is pro-life, and he has repeatedly suggested that pro-lifers need to become more politically savvy if they are to save the lives of unborn babies, given that most voters in the country support allowing abortion in the majority of cases.

By John M. Grondelski, The Catholic Thing - As the Pro-Life March takes place in Washington D.C. today, it’s good to remember that January 22, 2025 was the 52ndanniversary of Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision imposing abortion-on-demand through birth on all the states.  Roe was the 20th century’s equivalent of the Dred Scott decision.  In 1857, the Supreme Court said Dred Scott – a black man taken by his owner to Illinois – could not be free because he was not a “person” and was thus subject to whatever choice his master made.  In 1973, the Supreme Court said unborn children were not “persons” and thus subject to whatever choice their mothers made.
