When the Supreme Court ruled that abortion was a constitutional right in Roe v. Wade in 1973, it not only throttled an important ongoing democratic debate in the country about legalizing abortion, but it tore this country's culture apart. In the next fifty years, dedicated pro-life activists committed themselves to democratic engagement and advocacy to reverse Roe and return the struggle over the right to life to the democratic sphere. That decades-long effort bore fruit last year in the Supreme Court case of Dobbs. But that is far from the end of the story. The abortion issue continues to roil the country, with state legislatures passing dramatically different laws about the issue and voters in state initiative elections, such as in Kansas and Ohio, supporting legalization.  With the federal courts officially neutral on abortion, how will the Pro-Life Movement seek to achieve its stated goal of convincing the entire country that life should be protected and respected from conception to natural death? Wesley's guest on this episode of Humanize has some answers. Clarke Forsythe is Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life (AUL) and the author of Abuse of Discretion: The Inside Story of Roe v. Wade (Encounter Books 2013), which was cited by the Supreme Court in its majority opinion in Dobbs.

He has also testified before Congress and state legislatures. Forsythe has authored or co-authored 20+ professional legal articles on constitutional and bioethical issues. His other articles have been published in the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, the Los Angeles Times, Public Discourse, The Washington Times, The Federalist, The Hill, and many other newspapers and magazines.  His first book, Politics for the Greatest Good, which draws on lessons in political prudence from Thomas Aquinas, William Wilberforce, and Abraham Lincoln, was published by InterVarsity Press (IVP) in 2009.  His new book, Pushing Roe v. Wade Over the Brink, co-authored with Alexandra DeSanctis, chronicles the 50-year legal struggle to overturn Roe v. Wade, and its implications for future bioethical issues in American law and policy. Forsythe has a B.A. from Allegheny College, a J.D. from Valparaiso University, and an M.A. in Bioethics from Trinity International University, where he has been an Adjunct Professor of Bioethics.  Clarke and his wife, Karen, married for 41 years, have five daughters and 11 grandchildren.

Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life, joins Carolyn McDonnell, Staff Counsel, and Tom Shakely on "Life, Liberty, and Law" to discuss the overturning of Roe v. Wade, what the U.S. Supreme Court Justices have to say in the final opinion, and what's next. “We are grateful to millions of Americans across our nation who sacrificed to see this day,” said Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life. “We know there is a lot of work ahead to save lives and help mothers balance their family, work, and future. We will continue our work for an America that upholds the dignity of the human person and protects every member of the human family in culture, law, and policy.” A New Day at Last: U.S. Supreme Court Reverses Roe v.

Hour 2 of The Drew Mariani Show 5-19-2022 Chaplet of Divine Mercy/Drew is joined on the air with Clarke Forsythe as they discuss the success of pro-life legislation across the United States in light of the possible reversal of Roe v. Wade

Today we share an important talk by Dr. Donna Harrison, a physician, board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, who serves as CEO of the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Dr. Harrison recently joined Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life, for one of AUL's "Quarterly Calls" on timely and relevant issues facing America and the pro-life movement. Dr. Harrison speaks on chemical abortion pills, the risks of abortion pills to women, and the post-Roe pro-abortion strategy. As background to Dr. Harrison's talk, consider watching this VICE News piece, entitled “Inside Texas's Underground Abortion Pill Network”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR3uexqGgXo VICE News documents the trafficking of chemical abortion between Texas and Mexico. Notice how misoprostol is casually referred to in the video and used, independent of mifepristone, and how little information is given about what mifepristone and misoprostol are or how they work or their risks. This is the pro-abortion plan for “post-Roe" America.

"There is a wide-spread myth that Roe v. Wade is settled and entitled to respect as judicial precedent. The purveyors of this myth must ignore the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions going back to the earliest days of the Court—which point to judicial criticism and legal-scholarly criticism as keeping prior decisions unsettled. "Most importantly, they purveyors of the myth that Roe is settled and entitled to respect as judicial precedent must ignore four decades of detailed, comprehensive, and specific judicial and scholarly criticism of Roe itself. It is precisely because Roe has never been settled that it is entitled to no respect as precedent. In fact, because Roe is radically unsettled, long-standing principles of precedent dictate that it must be reconsidered." These words are from Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life and author of AUL's just-released, “A Survey of Judicial and Scholarly Criticism of Roe v. Wade Since 1973: Legal Criticism and Unsettled Precedent”. We speak with Clarke today about his new and important survey of judicial and scholarly criticism of Roe and what lessons that advocates and lawmakers can take away from the past half century of popular, constitutional criticism of Roe and abortion culture.

When any member of the human family is a victim of violence, they deserve justice. This inherent truth is the guiding truth behind why "Unborn Victims of Violence" acts, also called fetal homicide laws, exist. Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life, joins Tom Shakely and Noah Brandt to walk us through why and how fetal homicide laws came into being, the impressive success they continue to have in communities across the country, and why they are an important part of protecting life.

As the United States approaches the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Americans United for Life reflects on the past, present, and future of our nation's most notorious U.S. Supreme Court ruling. In more ways than one Roe has defined a generation. But things may be finally ripe for change. Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life, joins Noah Brandt to discuss Roe v. Wade's 'unsettled' nature, the role of the U.S. Supreme Court, and America's half century of abortion culture.

Clarke Forsythe of Americans United for Life Americans United for Life Abuse of Discretion: The Inside Story of Roe v. Wade

Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life, joins Noah Brandt on "Life, Liberty, and Law" to discuss the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Planned Parenthood v. Casey—the most important abortion case after the 1973 Roe v. Wade case. Clarke discusses the U.S. Supreme Court's approach to the human right to life in these important cases and the past, present, and future of abortion jurisprudence.

The US Supreme Court has issued its first major decision relating to abortion since Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement. But what was at issue was ultimately represented a much lower bar for the high court than abortion itself, relating simply to whether a state has the power to uphold health and safety standards meant specifically to protect women from substandard forms of care. Tragically, the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief John Roberts repudiated common sense health and safety laws of the sort at issue in this case, June Medical Services v. Russo. Worse, the High Court determined that abortion businesses can in effect litigate in order to lower standards of care for those who become their patients. It’s a terrible day for Louisiana, for Sen Katrina Jackson, the Democrat who sponsored the law at the heart of this case, and ultimately for human rights. Catherine Glenn Foster, President & CEO of Americans United for Life, Steven H. Aden, Chief Legal Officer & General Counsel, and Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel, join Tom Shakely to discuss June Medical Services v. Russo, Chief Justice John Roberts, and the future for advancing the human right to life in culture, law and policy.

What is the role of the United States Supreme Court? What is "settled law"? And how does the Supreme Court attempt to rectify its wrongs? These questions and more were at stake when the Supreme Court issued its unanimous opinion in Brown v. Board of Education on May 17, 1954. In Brown, the Supreme Court finally acknowledged the moral evil and legal fiction that was state-sanctioned segregation of the races. To get to that critical decision, the Supreme Court had to reverse itself on a prior ruling that had guided the nation for more than 50 years, Plessy v. Ferguson. The Court's courage in reversing its precedent and in charting a new course offers a heartening beacon of light, illuminating the path that could reverse erroneous Court precedent set in Roe v. Wade. Steve Aden, Chief Legal Officer & General Counsel at Americans United for Life joins Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel, and Noah Brandt on "Life, Liberty, and Law".

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to grip America, governors and other authorities are ordering all non-essential businesses and services shuttered. Restaurants, barber shops and salons, clothing stories, government offices, and even churches have closed for the benefit of the public. But what about abortion centers? In the minds of abortion activists, the intentional killing of children is always the most important issue—even in a time of international pandemic. Steve Aden, Chief Legal Officer & General Counsel at Americans United for Life, Katie Glenn, Government Affairs Counsel, and Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel, join Tom Shakely and Noah Brandt to talk about it in this special episode.

Catherine Glenn Foster, President & CEO of Americans United for Life, joins Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel, and Tom Shakely and Noah Brandt to break down the "Protect Women, Protect Life Rally" at the U.S. Supreme Court and the Oral Arguments in June Medical Services case concerning Louisiana's "Unsafe Abortion Protection Act". https://www.facebook.com/AmericansUnitedforLife/videos/483436305868435/

Happy New Year! Clarke Forsythe and Katie Glenn of Americans United for Life join Tom Shakely to reflect on the achievements and setbacks for the human right to life in 2019, and to talk shop on what’s likely to come in 2020 during this presidential election year and across the states.

Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life, joins Noah Brandt to discuss his book "Abuse of Discretion: The Inside Story of Roe v. Wade" and the fiction of abortion rights as a matter of constitutional law. Although people have heard the phrase "Roe v. Wade," polling shows that very few Americans can explain what Roe means. Roe set the United States on a radical course, making America one of just four nations in the world that allow abortion for any reason after viability—the point at which a human person would otherwise survive without the support of her mother. Abortion continues to roil America because of the U.S. Supreme Court's errors in its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, and our body politic will continue to suffer until the Supreme Court reverses Roe and returns the issue to the American people through the democratic process.

Clarke Forsythe joins Tom Shakely to speak on the virtue of prudence in the public square, and specifically on how we can make prudential decisions in an overheated political climate. Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life, is author of "Politics for the Greatest Good: The Case for Prudence in the Public Square" as well as Abuse of Discretion: The Inside Story of Roe v. Wade. After listening to Clarke, you might realize that politics and prudence aren't quite what you thought they were.

Each September 17th we mark Constitution Day—a day of honor and observance for America's greatest achievement in self-governance and the basis for our national democratic republic. Tom Shakely hosts an Americans United for Life conversation with Steve Aden, Rachel Morrison, and Clarke Forsythe to reflect on Constitution Day, the Supreme Court's role in preserving the Constitution, and the political nature of Roe v. Wade as it intersects with both the text of the Constitution and the Supreme Court's role in American life.

An America where abortion is lawful—where the intentional targeting and killing of human life is lawful—has created opportunities for abortionists like Kermit Gosnell and Ulrich Klopfer to realize their own warped sociopathy. In the wake of disgraced abortionist Ulrich Klopfer's death, and the news that Klopfer preserved the human remains of at least 2,246 human beings in the basement of his suburban Crete, Illinois home, it's time to put this news in context. Tom Shakely hosts this special episode of "Life, Liberty, and Law," alongside Steve Aden, Clarke Forsythe, and Noah Brandt of Americans United for Life.

The current Supreme Court vacancy and the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh are fueling the conversation about the future of abortion in the United States. We speak with Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel for Americans United for Life, to address whether we are likely to see Roe overturned, what a post-Roe society and pro-life movement would look like, and what we as Catholics are called to do amid these possible changes.

Clarke Forsythe's book offers a critical review of the behind-the-scenes deliberations that went into the Supreme Court’s abortion decisions and how the Abuse-of-Discretion-mistakes made by the Justices back in 1971-1973 have led to the turmoil we see today in law, politics, and public health. The first half of the book looks at the mistakes made by the Justices, based on the case files, the oral arguments, and the Justices’ papers. The second half of the book critically reviews the unintended consequences of the abortion decisions in medicine, public health, and public policy.
