Even the best legislation meant to protect life at the state level won’t have its intended effect without a state attorney general ready to vigorously defend state law in court. In the face of opposition from abortion activists and their political allies, pro-life states need strong attorneys general.
Americans United for Life speaks with Eric Schmitt, one of America’s great pro-life Attorneys General who is defending life-saving laws that protect mothers and their children. Eric Schmitt is Missouri’s 43rd Attorney General, and previously served as Missouri State Treasurer and as a pro-life legislator in the Missouri State Senate. Attorney General Schmitt speaks on defending pro-life laws in court, what it takes to represent Missouri’s people rather than special interests, and the reason why he has taken the Biden administration to Court more times than any other state attorney general.
This is the first of three conversations with Midwestern leaders recorded during the Midwest March for Life in Jefferson City, Missouri. The Midwest March for Life takes place annually and this year celebrated Missouri becoming the first state in the union where abortions do not regularly take place.
