WASHINGTON DC (February 26, 2019) — Catherine Glenn Foster, President and CEO of Americans United for Life (AUL), has issued the following statement:
“The Senate’s inability to move on Sen Ben Sasse’s straightforward and common sense bill to protect human life is the latest sign of our needlessly polarized times. Too many in Washington are engaged in performative displays meant to appeal to fringe supporters. As we know from our AUL/YouGov national poll, huge majorities even of pro-choice Americans oppose abortion in the final months of pregnancy and oppose denying babies medical care after birth. We’re living through a dark time when the Senate blocks a life-affirming bill that majorities of pro-choice Americans would appear to support.”
Americans United for Life (AUL) is a nonprofit, public-interest law and policy organization that holds the distinction of being the first national pro-life organization in America—incorporated in 1971. It protects and defends human life from conception to natural death through vigorous legislative, judicial, and educational efforts.
