"Abortion businesses should not be permitted to haul the states into federal court and ask a judge to substitute his or her judgment for state health authorities who have declared abortionists ineligible for taxpayer funding." —Catherine Glenn Foster, President & CEO at Americans United for Life

Trump’s comments on Democrats and ‘late-term abortion’ ([link removed][UNIQID])
(The Washington Post) Steven H. Aden, chief legal officer at Americans United for Life, said Trump’s remark was accurate because Democrats as a party favor abortion rights, and restrictions on abortion can be avoided through legal loopholes. “In a companion case to Roe, Doe v. Bolton, the Supreme Court defined the ‘health exception’ in a wide-open fashion, allowing for ‘familial,’ ‘economic’ and ‘emotional’ considerations,” Aden wrote in an email. “This completely subjective ‘health exception’ is what gave us the ‘abortion on demand’ regime we’ve had since Roe. It is certainly true that a small minority of abortions occur in the late gestational ages (after about 20 weeks), and that only a few abortionists practice very late-term abortions such as third trimester abortions, but no abortion doctor would face any legal penalty for doing one based on virtually any subjective reason provided.”

School’s out, but the pro-life movement’s on ([link removed][UNIQID])
(World Magazine) Americans United for Life called ([link removed][UNIQID]) on Congress to prioritize benefits for children and their mothers—especially pregnant mothers—when formulating future economic relief packages. The AUL proposal would help prevent women from seeking abortions just because of a poor economic situation. “Every mother who might otherwise feel pressured to consider abortion should be empowered to make the choice for life, and congressional relief can play a key role in encouraging life-affirming outcomes throughout this season,” the proposal said.

WashPost Fact Checker Can't Handle Trump's Truth About Late-Term Abortions ([link removed][UNIQID])
(News Busters) Rizzo now says this claim of Trump is outdated because although Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren “said they favored no restrictions on abortion,” the apparent nominee Joe Biden says he would codify Roe vs. Wade, which has a trimester framework. Rizzo at least let the pro-life side explain its case: Steven H. Aden, chief legal officer at Americans United for Life, said Trump’s remark was accurate because Democrats as a party favor abortion rights, and restrictions on abortion can be avoided through legal loopholes. “In a companion case to Roe, Doe v. Bolton, the Supreme Court defined the ‘health exception’ in a wide-open fashion, allowing for ‘familial,’ ‘economic’ and ‘emotional’ considerations,” Aden wrote in an email. “This completely subjective ‘health exception’ is what gave us the ‘abortion on demand’ regime we’ve had since Roe."

(Dallas Morning News) The appeals court argued that the state had broad latitude to protect public health. “The Supreme Court has well-established precedent saying that during times of public health emergencies, reasonable restriction on constitutional rights are acceptable,” said Katie Glenn, government affairs counsel for Americans United for Life.
