Supreme Court to consider Louisiana abortion case
(AUL) “Americans United for Life welcomes the Supreme Court’s decision to review both the commonsense Louisiana admitting privileges law and the legal question whether an abortionist should be able to stand in the shoes of his patients to challenge a medical requirement that is designed to protect them from him,” said AUL’s President, Catherine Glenn Foster.

Republicans Move to Improve Quality of U.S. Abortion Statistics
(National Review) “Americans expect accurate and comprehensive data about public health and medicine, especially when taxpayer funds are being used to support procedures like abortion,” Tom Shakely, chief engagement officer at Americans United for Life (AUL), told National Review. “Abortion-promoting states shouldn’t be entitled to receive tax funds for abortion on the one hand, and then on the other refuse to track the most basic information about the outcomes of those abortions.”

Planned Parenthood Opens Huge Secret Abortion Center Outside St. Louis, Built Under Fake Name
(Life News) Steven Aden, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of Americans United for Life, told LifeNews.com he’s not surprised by the news. “How appropriate that Planned Parenthood has built a secret ‘mega-center’ to go with its mega-sized status as America’s biggest abortion business – fully one-third of all U.S. abortions are done at a Planned Parenthood facility,” he said. He added: “Planned Parenthood loudly complains that long distances inhibit access to abortion while building its business model on the truth that they will. Given that abortions are falling precipitously all over the country as women are learning what abortion really is and does to them and their babies, the main impact of this new mega-center might be to drive Planned Parenthood St. Louis – just across the river – out of business. In light of the fact that the St. Louis abortion center has sent 74 women directly to the hospital over the last ten years, that can only be a very good thing for women in both Missouri and Illinois.”

Catherine Glenn Foster on Efforts to Overturn Roe v. Wade
(C-SPAN) Our nation is one of the most radical nations in the world for abortion laws. Most Americans do not know the extent to which Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in America, really all nine months for virtually any reason. They don't realize what happened. Behind the closed doors, the conditions in these facilities, in so many cases, and the lack of informed consent.

A portrait of a pro-life advocate, Capitol Hill life, and public service
(Life, Liberty, and Law) It can be too easy to lose sight of the human person in the midst of America's fractious political debates over the human right to life. Tom Shakely and Noah Brandt speak with Monica Mosimann on "Life, Liberty, and Law" about her experience as a pro-life advocate—from her upbringing in a large and life-affirming family, to her academic studies, to her experience at Americans United for Life and in the cause for life, to her next steps on Capitol Hill as a Legislative Assistant.

‘Planned Parenthood’s Secret Weapon’
(The Washington Post) Planned Parenthood’s opponents, of course, argue that accuracy is the opposite of the organization’s aim. “I think they’re marketing to a specific demographic,” says Steven Aden, chief legal officer of the antiabortion group Americans United for Life. “I am concerned that people who haven’t experienced much of life, the younger set, may be led into thinking that abortion is normal and glamorous and painless and lacking in consequences, all those things that Hollywood would like them to believe.”
