JD Vance warns of 'baby skeletons' in brothels during anti-abortion speech

Vice President JD Vance warned of a time when "baby skeletons" were seen in brothels while speaking to an anti-abortion crowd.

Standing behind bulletproof glass at Friday's March for Life, Vance reminded the crowd of pagan times.

"What ultimately gives meaning and life to the United States of America?" Vance said. "This is not a new question. Every civilization has been forced to answer it."

"I read an article some time ago," he continued. "It was about classic archaeology of all things, and one particular piece of information has haunted me, that one of the telltale signs of an ancient brothel in the pagan world was that you'd always find a large number of baby skeletons nearby."

"A lot of baby skeletons, and those bones predominantly belong to boys. Because, unlike little girls, those boys would be of no use to the future adults who were running those brothels."

Vance called the ancient situation "shocking."

"But we have to remember that in the ancient pagan world, discarding children was routine," he added. "From the skeletons in brothels to the child sacrifice of the Mayans, the mark of barbarism is that we treat babies like inconveniences to be discarded rather than the blessings to cherish that they are."
