AUL's Clarke Forsythe was quoted in Public Discourse, making a strong case for a prudential approach in the pro-life movement, especially after Dobbs.

Drawing from Pope John Paul II in Evangelium Vitae, Forsythe argues that voting for a law that only partially restricts abortion is not complicit in evil. It is a legitimate effort to limit the harm of abortion when a full ban isn’t feasible.

Clarke argues that an all-or-nothing strategy is self-defeating. True prudence means using whatever political ground is available now to limit abortion, save lives, and maintain momentum — rather than allowing the perfect to become the enemy of the good.

PARENTS OVER STATE: The Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision didn’t just return abortion policy to the states — it restored the constitutional priority of parents’ fundamental right to direct their children’s upbringing.

Read our blog on the Advancing American Freedom legal report written by AUL's Carolyn McDonnell and AAF's Thomas Jipping, analyzing the role the Dobbs decision played to bolster parental rights and reverse the broad judicial bypass laws that the faulty Roe v. Wade decision unconstitutionally allowed for.

GIVING ACCOUNTABILITY: When you give to Americans United for Life, you help hold the abortion industry accountable for how they mistreat women.

Through Center for Client Safety (CCS), AUL's enforcement arm, two clinics were shut down because of women's safety matters.

Both the American Family Planning and the Venice Women’s Health Center were permanently shut down in 2021 and 2022 due to CCS investigations documenting patient injuries, life-threatening complications, regulatory violations, and unsafe medical practices.

Every time an unsafe abortion facility is held accountable, women and girls are protected.

⬛️⚠️BLACK BOX WARNING: Women are being harmed by abortion pills.

John Mize, CEO of AUL, spoke to Madison Seals on the CBN News Quickstart Podcast about the ongoing fight against abortion pills that are harming up to 300 women a day across the country, according to data from the EPPC.

“Women are being drugged with this medication. Women are stocking this medication in their cabinets. They're not taking the medication as prescribed. And oftentimes, women are taking it later in gestational age than they should.

There could be as many as 300 women a day in this country showing up to emergency rooms with severe complications from this medication.”

PLAYING POLITICS: AUL's Gavin Oxley was quoted in the The New York Times in an article highlighting the lawsuit filed by the state of Louisiana against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for dropping the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion pill.

Gavin points out in the article that the Trump Administration has not reversed the major Biden-era FDA policy that allows mifepristone to be prescribed via telemedicine and sent through the mail, thus slow-walking on abortion pills ahead of the 2026 midterms.

“I think that the administration’s been extremely selective with how they have impacted pro-life policy... It’s notable that the administration has not touched probably the most significant Biden-era abortion policy, and has allowed it to stand.”
