Pro-life reaction to Justice Souter's retirement

Americans United for Life Senior Counsel Clarke D. Forsythe stated, “Justice David Souter is one of the most pro-abortion members of the United States Supreme Court. During his tenure, Justice Souter voted to uphold abortion on demand and to strike down common sense abortion regulations that the vast majority of Americans support." Dr. Charmaine Yoest, President & CEO of AUL commented, “The irony is that even many abortion rights supporters agree that Roe v. Wade was poorly decided. One person often cited as a potential Obama pick, legal scholar Cass Sunstein, has argued that Roe ‘badly overreached’ and that the decision rests on shaky constitutional foundations.” AUL; Abortion issue looms over Supreme Court choice
