“In 1979, Americans United for Life played a pivotal role in the creation of the 8th Amendment, requiring the equal protection of unborn human life and the life of the mother and making Ireland one of the strongest pro-life nations in Europe. Today, the AUL legal team is saddened that the people of Ireland have paved the way for abortion on demand in their country. AUL offers our support to the pro-life people of Ireland – we continue to stand with you and thank you for your valiant efforts to defend life. If the global pro-life movement continues to work together to advance the cause of life, we have every faith that we will see a day when everyone is welcomed in life and protected in law.” —Catherine Glenn Foster, President and CEO of Americans United for Life

AUL's Chief Legal Officer Steve Aden supported Irish doctors who are working to #SaveThe8th on Friday, saying: “The American experience has been that allowing abortions for ‘mental health’ reasons opens the door to rubber-stamp abortions for any reason or no reason – abortion on demand."

Great news! A Riverside County, CA, court has overturned California’s 2015 assisted suicide law! AUL urges California not to appeal this decision and to uphold its duty to protect the lives of all its citizens, especially vulnerable people groups such as elder adults and those with disabilities and illnesses.
