Courage always begins in the heart, and although we don’t think of it this way nearly often enough, the virtue of courage (or bravery, fortitude, whatever you want to call it) is the foundation for every good and true act of politics and action of politicians. We see the importance of courage powerfully in Mississippi’s recent brief in defense of their state’s common sense 15-week pro-life protection law.
The Court will consider Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization this fall and will likely reveal its ruling in June 2022. Americans United for Life is filing two briefs in this critical Supreme Court case, meant to guide the thinking of the justices on the path to not only upholding Mississippi’s common sense pro-life law, but also reversing Roe v. Wade and ending the violence of abortion across the states.
We must overcome cynicism in our politics if we want to build a better America, and that starts by recovering the virtue of courage in our imaginations as much as in our lives. We speak with Katie Glenn, GA Counsel at Americans United for Life, about Mississippi’s powerful arguments, what we’re arguing at Americans United for Life, and why there will be a fundamental reckoning if the Court does not protect life in this case.
