"We get to choose one: suicide prevention, or suicide advocacy. We can’t have both. Portugal’s embrace of suicide by physician imposes a regime of suicide advocacy upon the people. There will be deadly pressure on the marginalized, the economically fragile, and the socially vulnerable to make a life-ending decision in a context ultimately devoid of real choice. Every advance of suicide advocacy is a failure of equality under the law, because it makes citizens fundamentally unequal based on their situation." —Catherine Glenn Foster, President & CEO of Americans United for Life

(Sinclair Broadcasting) “He’s activated so many people who aren’t normally into politics," said Noah Brandt, the communications manager for Americans United for Life. Brandt said having the president speak at the March for Life was "paradigm-shifting."

(Fox News) Camosy told host Tucker Carlson that the most common reason patients in Oregon, where assisted suicide has been legal since 1997, request access to PAS is not due to "physical pain and suffering," -- as is often assumed -- but rather a fear of "being a burden on others," and fear of "losing one's autonomy."
Recent changes in SCOTUS raise the stakes in upcoming abortion case ([link removed][UNIQID])
(ABA Journal) At least one anti-abortion group, Americans United for Life, called on the justices, both in a brief for itself and another in which it represents 207 members of Congress, to overrule the basic right to abortion the court recognized in 1973’s Roe v. Wade and reaffirmed in 1992’s Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey. “We think that with some clarity, the Louisiana law can fit within the framework of Roe and Casey,” says Steven H. Aden, the group’s general counsel, but “the court needs to take a close look at abortion law and decide what it really intends to say.”

Wade prohibits states from requiring that abortionists treat human fetal remains with dignity and respect, as opposed to merely dumping them in medical waste containers. The Court also agreed to hear June Medical Services v. Russo, an appeal from a trial court decision that declared unconstitutional Louisiana’s law requiring abortionists to possess the credentials to admit and follow up with patients in the hospital when an emergency occurs. Americans United for Life filed a “friend of the court” brief ([link removed][UNIQID]) on behalf of 207 Senators and Members of the House of Representatives urging the Justices to uphold Louisiana’s law. In
