Washington D.C.: Upon hearing the news of the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia, American Life League president Judie Brown issued the following statement:
“From the perspective of constitutional protection for human rights beginning with the right to life, America has lost a wise, articulate, astute, and dedicated defender of the Constitution. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will be sorely missed. We pray for the happy repose of his soul and for his family during this time of grieving.”
