"Too often in times of crisis, those who are already marginalized based on their life circumstance or due to inherent characteristics like age, disability, or race find themselves tragically targeted to an even greater extent. We cannot let that continue to occur." —Catherine Glenn Foster, President & CEO at Americans United for Life

At-home abortion is no magic pill
(Washington Examiner) Ultimately, loosening chemical abortion regulations only benefits unscrupulous doctors and abusers, at the cost of the physical and emotional health of women and girls. While telemedicine has many beneficial applications, especially during this period of national crisis, abortion is not one of them.

Virginia Governor Announces Signing of Extreme Abortion Bill on Good Friday
(Breitbart) Catherine Glenn Foster, president & CEO of Americans United for Life (AUL), referred to the legislation as “horribly destructive,” and one that “will undermine the role of law to protect and guide. The most heartbreaking part of this travesty to me personally is its repeal of the lifesaving ultrasound requirement in Virginia. When I went in for my abortion, scared and only 19 years old, I was denied the option to see the ultrasound of my baby. I asked, but the abortion worker said no. Now women all over the commonwealth of Virginia will be denied that basic right as well. It would have changed the course of my life. Women deserve better."
