A Message from Americans United for Life President & CEO Catherine Glenn Foster on Striving for Justice and a Sincere Respect for Life
(AUL) What does it mean to sincerely respect the human right to life? What does it mean to stand for justice? It means understanding the truth that the value of human life extends from the dawn of life when we can see only the dark of the womb, to the shadows of life when we lean on the solidarity and support of our neighbors, to the twilight of life when we may depend the most on those we rely on. I pray that we can come together as one people, one community, and one nation. I pray that Americans will step into our calling to be the refuge of the tempest-tost. I pray that in these difficult times, we will truly listen to each other, come together to find new paths and new solutions, and achieve the day when every human being is welcomed and cherished throughout life, and every human being is protected in law.

Battle over sanctuary cities for the unborn cools down
(World Magazine) Katie Glenn with Americans United for Life said the cities will probably face more lawsuits. Currently, no one faces the penalties of the ordinances because none of the sanctuary cities have abortion facilities. She said if an abortion business opened in one of the towns and the town criminally charged an abortionist, he or she could challenge the ordinances again: “I think that’s probably why the ACLU was happy to back off—because if it ever enters the realm of non-hypothetical, they’ll just file another lawsuit, and we’ll do this all over again.”

Missouri Commission Allows Controversial Planned Parenthood to Remain Open
(Breitbart) Catherine Glenn Foster, president of Americans United for Life, said in a statement the St. Louis Planned Parenthood facility “is a threat to public health and safety, plain and simple”: Missouri concluded that the St. Louis Planned Parenthood did not meet basic health and safety standards, yet as too often happens, judges have stepped in as de facto Planned Parenthood cheerleaders to keep a substandard abortion business open. What is the point of a democracy if state leaders elected by the people are prohibited from ensuring basic health and safety? We expect high standards for businesses that serve the public, but apparently no standards for abortion businesses. We’re stuck in a Twilight Zone of the judiciary’s making.

Sworn depositions raise new questions in Planned Parenthood fetal tissue controversy
(Fox News) Gatter specifically testified that she would alter her “techniques.” While discussing her “evolution” in thinking on the issue, Gatter said: “By the time I was at PP [Planned Parenthood] Pasadena, many of us were moving in the direction of making this distinction between method and procedure, method and technique. And so I was very comfortable at that time that the difference in technique did not – doing different techniques: manual aspiration versus electronic aspiration – did not really affect the procedure or the method; so it was, therefore, permissible in terms of fetal tissue donation.” Catherine Glenn Foster, an attorney who leads Americans United for Life, told Fox News that PPFA's distinction "doesn't matter legally. They are changing the procedure in order to sell ... the bodies of abortion victims."
