An Invitation to Support Americans United for Life
with a Fiscal-Year End Matched Gift!

To be pro-life means to be for life! As we enter the critical final weeks of our fiscal year, we value your support to meet our $2.66 million budget. These funds help us advance against mighty Goliaths like Planned Parenthood, pushing abortion, and Compassion & Choices, pushing euthanasia and suicide. Our opponents in the fight for human life are mighty! Compassion & Choices raised nearly $17 million last year. And Planned Parenthood tragically receives more than $500 million in taxpayer funding as part of its total revenue, which is now in the low billions. But as David taught us in confronting Goliath, even giants aren’t invincible. We go against these Goliaths bolstered by your support and backed by every member of this movement who stands for life.

And now, thanks to the commitment of a few of AUL’s supporters, we are blessed with an incredible $215,000 matching challenge! Your donation made before June 30th will be doubled, dollar for dollar. Every gift makes an impact in pushing us toward achieving our $2.66 million budget and ensuring we can finish this year strong and enter a new year even stronger. Now is the time.

Catherine Glenn Foster, Steve Aden, and Clarke Forsythe respond to the U.S. Supreme Court on June Medical Services v. Russo – Life, Liberty, and Law

The US Supreme Court has issued its first major decision relating to abortion since Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement. But what was at issue was ultimately represented a much lower bar for the high court than abortion itself, relating simply to whether a state has the power to uphold health and safety standards meant specifically to protect women from substandard forms of care. Tragically, the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief John Roberts repudiated common sense health and safety laws of the sort at issue in this case, June Medical Services v. Russo. Worse, the High Court determined that abortion businesses can in effect litigate in order to lower standards of care for those who become their patients. It’s a terrible day for Louisiana, for Sen Katrina Jackson, the Democrat who sponsored the law at the heart of this case, and ultimately for human rights. Catherine Glenn Foster, President & CEO of Americans United for Life, Steven H. Aden, Chief Legal Officer & General Counsel, and Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel, join Tom Shakely to discuss June Medical Services v. Russo, Chief Justice John Roberts, and the future for advancing the human right to life in culture, law and policy.
