"Women deserve the same standard of care no matter who their doctor is. Continued efforts by elected officials and political institutions to limit protections and safeguards for women are out of step with core American values." —Catherine Glenn Foster, President & CEO at Americans United for Life

On Abortion Rights, 2020 Democrats Move Past ‘Safe, Legal and Rare’ ([link removed][UNIQID])
(The New York Times) The Democratic presidential field has coalesced around an abortion rights agenda more far-reaching than anything past nominees have proposed, according to a New York Times survey of the campaigns. The positions reflect a hugely consequential shift on one of the country’s most politically divisive issues.
Dennis Horan on abortion and threats to the human right to life in a pre-Roe era ([link removed][UNIQID])
(Life, Liberty, and Law) Dennis Horan, a nationally prominent attorney, speaks to us in the present from his moment in the past. In this special historical episode of "Life, Liberty, and Law," Dennis speaks a mere six months before the emergence of Americans United for Life onto the national scene. Dennis speaks in Chicago to a gathering of Americans in remarks that would capture the tension and uncertainty of the pre-Roe era in America, as millions were awakening to the possibility of an all-male U.S. Supreme Court intervening to impose an anti-woman and anti-child jurisprudence in what would become Roe v. Wade.
New York’s latest bid to bully the religious ([link removed][UNIQID])
(New York Post) New York has some of the most liberal abortion laws in the world. Now, even those who object to extinguishing unborn life — even organizations whose mission is advocating for the dignity of life — might be compelled by law to hire employees who endorse and promote abortion.

Hundreds Flood City Council Meeting to Protest New Planned Parenthood Abortion Facility ([link removed][UNIQID])
(Life News) Hundreds of concerned Florida residents protested peacefully Monday against plans to open a new Planned Parenthood abortion facility in their community. WPTV News 5 reports the crowd of about 200 people spilled outside of the Port St. Lucie city commission meeting Monday after filling both the meeting and overflow rooms. The eastern Florida residents voiced their concerns to the commission after learning that Planned Parenthood plans to open a new abortion facility in Port St. Lucie in January.
How Democrats purged ‘safe, legal, rare’ from the party ([link removed][UNIQID])
(The Washington Post) But pushing the Democratic Party in this extreme direction is a political mistake that ignores the views of Democrats who do not share the all-or-nothing abortion attitudes of many primary voters. It also prevents Democratic candidates from picking off some independents and even Republicans who are itching to vote for anyone but President Trump but who simply will not abide a candidate who supports abortion on demand, in all three trimesters.
Yes, There Is Such a Thing as Elective Late-Term Abortion ([link removed][UNIQID])
(National Review) Finally, if Democratic lawmakers didn’t support late-term abortion on demand — as the author of the Post letter to the editor claims — presumably they would support laws limiting abortion after fetal viability. But they don’t, as my initial article noted, and in fact many of the current presidential candidates back a federal bill that would nullify any such law implemented at the state level.
