At the March for Life last month, Vice President J.D. Vance told a cheering crowd, “I want more babies in the United States of America!” The newly-minted vice president has made his pro-natalist views no secret.

But perhaps more important than policy proposals, he is leading by example as a hands-on father to young children.
This was particularly noticeable in his first trip overseas as vice president, a trip he brought his entire family on. As he disembarked in Paris, who couldn’t help but delight, and chuckle, at the image of his children, ages seven, four, and two, beside him and his wife in their peacoats and jammies.
