Blink and you may have missed it. President Trump signed into law another Executive Order, this one touching on a significant concern for pro-life Americans: in-vitro fertilization.
The president’s latest EO reinserts us back into a debate over what legal protection should be afforded to embryos and the attendant public policy ramifications. But this debate goes even beyond the President’s EO, to debates about the future of pro-life politics. Joining us to discuss the subjects is our friend Steve Aden.
Aden serves as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel at Americans United for Life. He is a highly experienced litigator, having appeared in court against Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry dozens of times and appointed by the Attorneys General of six States to defend pro-life laws. Aden secured court victories that upheld Arizona law that resulted in six abortion businesses ceasing to offer abortion, applied Missouri’s abortion laws to chemical abortion, and upheld the right of Louisiana regulators to shut down dangerous abortion facilities. A prolific author and analyst on sanctity of life issues and Constitutional jurisprudence, Aden is admitted to the bars of the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Hawaii (inactive), and is a member of the bars of this U.S. Supreme Court and numerous federal circuit and district courts. He earned his J.D. (cum laude) from Georgetown University Law Center and his B.A. from the University of Hawaii.
