Dear John,

On Sunday at midnight, Americans United for Life faces the end of our fiscal year. Since I first wrote earlier this month to share the news of our incredible dollar-for-dollar year-end match, so many have responded with gifts that strengthen our work.

As you head into this beautiful summer weekend, please remember that now is a vital time to strengthen Americans United for Life with a fiscal-year-end gift. Make your gift this weekend—before midnight local time on Sunday—to ensure your gift is matched!

In our frenzied, always-on media culture, I find that it’s often the case that good news in the cause for life is lost amidst the noise. So I want to share some weekend reading material from Justice Clarence Thomas in the recently-decided U.S. Supreme Court case Box v. Planned Parenthood. While this case was largely a victory for the pro-life movement, the Court declined to decide whether abortion on the basis of discrimination based on race, sex, or disability is legitimate.

Justice Thomas writes in clear and stark terms:

“Enshrining a constitutional right to an abortion based solely on race, sex, or disability of an unborn child, as Planned Parenthood advocates, would constitutionalize the vies of the 20th-century eugenics movement. In other contexts, the [U.S. Supreme] Court has been zealous in vindicating the rights of people even potentially subjected to race, sex, and disability discrimination. … Although the Court declines to wade into these issues today, we cannot avoid them forever. Having created the constitutional right to an abortion, this Court is dutybound to address its scope. In that regard, it is easy to understand why the District Court and the Seventh Circuit looked to Casey to resolve a question it did not address. Where else could they turn? The Constitution itself is silent on abortion.”

We can all look to Justice Thomas with gratitude on core issues of life and of justice. And this month especially, we should celebrate Justice Thomas—he celebrates his 71st birthday this June! Justice Thomas is also the longest-serving justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, having served for more than 27 years. We need more women and men like him in our courts.

Americans United for Life will continue to speak alongside clear-eyed and constitutionally minded Americans in defense of all human life.

I hope you'll take advantage of our limited-time match and make a year-end gift today!
We must actively prepare for the remaining challenges to come.

I'm so grateful for your support, and your continuing commitment to life.

In LIFE,



Catherine Glenn Foster
President & CEO
