Today, Americans United for Life’s Government Affairs Counsel Bradley N. Kehr submitted testimony in support of our Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, which is pending in Rhode Island’s House Judiciary Committee. HB 7164 is common-sense legislation requiring that infants born alive during a failed abortion receive appropriate life-saving or life-sustaining medical care and treatment. This legislation was introduced by a bipartisan coalition of three Democratic and one Republican Representatives, which reflects national […]

Americans United for Life commends Tennessee’s Legislature and Governor Bill Haslam for enacting SB 2494, which restricts the funding available for abortion providers under family planning programs. SB 2494 uses the same approach as AUL’s Defunding the Abortion Industry and Advancing Women’s Health Act, prioritizing the funding of comprehensive healthcare facilities that can help women address a broad array of health issues that Planned Parenthood and other abortion […]

Americans United for Life is extremely disappointed by Hawaii Governor David Ige’s decision to sign dangerous legislation establishing a new state-sanctioned system for physician-assisted suicide.

Americans United for Life Director of Legal Communications Deanna Wallace sat down with David Webb of the David Webb Show this week to talk about a new law in the Hoosier state that creates stricter reporting requirements for abortion-related complications. “So, S340 basically says that doctors have to report to the state whenever they see a woman […]

Americans United for Life is disappointed by the Hawaii Senate’s decision to approve HB 2739, which would establish a state-sanctioned system for physician-assisted suicide. As AUL pointed out in our letter to Senate leaders, many in the bioethics, legal, and medical fields have raised significant questions regarding the existence of abuses and failures in jurisdictions that have approved assisted suicide, including […]

Americans United for Life submitted a Comment today urging the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to adopt its proposed rule protecting conscience rights in health care. The proposed rule would give HHS’s Office of Civil Rights responsibility and power to vigorously enforce conscience rights and anti-discrimination laws already passed by Congress. AUL’s comment demonstrates that […]

Americans United for Life is thrilled that Indiana’s Governor Holcomb has signed S340, which is based on our recently updated Abortion Reporting Act. S340 strengthens the reporting requirements for abortion-related complications, ensuring that complete and reliable data on the risks of abortion is available to women, the medical community, and the general public. AUL thanks Gov. Holcomb, legislative members, and our state allies for working with us to […]

The second, […]
