Dear John,

No doubt you've heard the great news about Judge Amy Coney Barrett!

Americans United for Life was the first national pro-life organization to explicitly call on the President to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Supreme Court seat. And this past weekend we were thrilled to see the President formally introduce Judge Barrett as his nominee.

This week, Judge Barrett will be meeting privately with members of the U.S. Senate. And confirmation hearings are scheduled to begin next week on October 12th. We will be bringing you the latest news and analysis throughout this process on AUL.org.

In the meantime, I want to share our public statement on the nomination of Judge Barrett:

"Amy Coney Barrett is the best and most qualified successor for the iconic Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the United States Supreme Court. The President made a wise choice. Judge Barrett has proven that she is a constitutionalist with a profound understanding that the duty of a judge is to fairly interpret the law. Judge Barrett understands that judges should not legislate from the bench or substitute their personal preferences for the authority and weight of the U.S. Constitution. We thank President Trump for this brave and ambitious choice. We urge each Senator to closely examine Judge Barrett’s record, the comments of her colleagues, and the content of her character. I am confident that if each Senator voted on these criteria, she would receive the unanimous consent of the United States Senate."

We look forward to vigorously supporting the nomination of Judge Barrett!

Please consider making a financial gift to support our continuing work to advance the human right to life in culture, law, and policy.

For LIFE,
