Dear John,

I have some exciting news from Americans United for Life, and I want to personally let you know about it. I hope you will consider supporting our pro-life legal efforts after reading about the update below. www.aul.org/give.

65-year-old Debra Vitagliano of Westchester County, New York, is a sidewalk counselor who sought to educate women on abortion and inform them of alternatives. Unfortunately, Westchester County, encouraged by the Supreme Court's decision in the 2000 case Hill v. Colorado, passed a law in June 2022 prohibiting sidewalk counselors from engaging in education and counseling. So, Vitagliano took her case to court, and Americans United for Life just filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the Ms. Vitagliano in Vitagliano v. County of Westchester. AUL is asking the Supreme Court to hear this case, as it could have far-reaching implications for the future of pro-life speech.

You and I know that sidewalk counselors provide last-minute, life-saving support and education to mothers seeking an abortion. AUL’s brief explains that Americans possess a constitutional right under the First Amendment to advocate in a public forum on the alternatives to abortion, to counsel mothers considering abortion for their child, and to witness to the humanity of preborn persons.

Will you join us today as to take a stand for these pro-life counselors advocating on behalf of mothers and their babies? Your support will enable us to file more briefs such as this one on behalf of pro-life free speech and other pressing pro-life issues of our day. Please give as generously as you can.
