Friend,

First off, I want to thank you for all of the support you’ve given Susan B. Anthony List. Because of your generosity, we were able to surpass our end-of-quarter fundraising goal.

Like you, I am extremely disappointed with the Supreme Court’s ruling in its recent abortion case: June Medical Services v. Russo -- with Justice Roberts being the tie-breaking vote.

But as our President, Marjorie Dannenfelser stated, this ruling will unify the pro-life movement like never before as we enter the full swing of the 2020 election.

I wanted to make sure that you saw her recent Fox News op-ed on the ruling and why the upcoming election will be so important for our movement.

Please read and then share Marjorie’s op-ed on the Supreme Court’s disappointing ruling in June Medical Services v. Russo.

After you finish reading it, please share it with your friends and family on Twitter to ensure it reaches every pro-life member of our movement.

For LIFE,

Billy Valentine
Vice President of Public Policy
Susan B. Anthony List

Once again the Supreme Court has imposed its own will contrary to that of the people and their elected representatives.

“Monday’s Supreme Court ruling in June Medical Services v. Russo deals a cruel blow to vulnerable women and girls and is a bitter disappointment to the pro-life movement. As with the tragic Hellerstedt decision four years ago, it underscores that life and death are at stake in the coming elections.

The opinion, authored by Justice Stephen Breyer with concurrence by Chief Justice John Roberts, strikes down Louisiana’s pro-life, pro-woman law that simply requires abortionists to have admitting privileges at local hospitals.

This modest protection was manifestly necessary due to the horrendous track record of abortionists and the facilities they run, both in Louisiana and across the nation – a litany of abuse and negligence that includes botched abortions, unsanitary conditions, and a clear pattern of putting profits before health and safety.

The Unsafe Abortion Protection Act was introduced by a pro-life Democrat, passed by overwhelming bipartisan majorities in the state legislature, and signed into law by a Democratic governor. Previously it was upheld by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which found that the facts on the ground were substantially different from those in the Hellerstedt case.

Once again the Supreme Court, led by a Republican (George W. Bush) appointee who opted to reverse himself and prioritize precedent over the Constitution, has imposed its own will contrary to that of the people and their elected representatives…”
