Vice President JD Vance will speak at the annual March for Life on Friday. It is a regrettable miscalculation to elevate Vance as a pro-life leader given his recent track record on abortion, as well as that of the administration he serves.
Surely, this invitation is part of a strategic effort to accomplish pro-life objectives over the rest of President Donald Trump’s term. Developing a prudent political strategy is essential, and compromise will always be part of political life.
