David Bereit, executive director of American Life
League, issued the following statement regarding the confirmation of Samuel Alito as justice to the U.S. Supreme Court:
"We are extremely hopeful that the confirmation of Samuel Alito will
lead to a greater protection of all human life including innocent
children at risk of losing their lives to abortion. Justice Alito's
confirmation to the nation's highest court offers pro-life Americans
reason for hope and optimism about the future. His record suggests
that he will help to ensure justice for all Americans born and
pre-born."Justice Alito's confirmation was not an easy victory, but pro-lifers
worked tirelessly to ensure that the tragedy of abortion was a focal
point throughout the confirmation process. Prior to the vote in the
Senate Judiciary Committee, ALL representatives delivered thousands of
petitions signed by citizens across the country calling for the
approval of Judge Alito. Efforts like this were crucial in helping to
assure Justice Alito's confirmation."Pro-life Americans are praying that Justice Alito will live up to his
promise, and uphold a strict interpretation of constitutional law
not legislate from the bench. There is nothing in the United States
Constitution that gives anyone a right to kill an innocent human
person, by abortion or any other means, and we are hopeful that
Justice Alito will recognize that reality in all abortion related
decisions that come before him on our nation's highest court."
