Clarke Forsythe is Senior Counsel at Americans United for Life, where he has worked for 37 years, and the author of Abuse of Discretion: The Inside Story of Roe v. Wade (Encounter Books 2013).  Abuse of Discretion has been favorably reviewed in the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, First Things, World Magazine, National Review, and other journals.  Jeffrey Rosen, President of the National Constitution Center, wrote in the Wall Street Journal that ‘Abuse of Discretion provides a cautionary tale about the political and constitutional hazards of unnecessarily broad Supreme Court decisions.’   Justice Alito cited Abuse of Discretion in his majority opinion for the Supreme Court in the Dobbs decision overruling Roe v. Wade. 
 
Clarke has been co-counsel for parties in three U.S. Supreme Court cases and has argued cases before federal and state appellate courts.  He has also testified before Congress and state legislatures.  Clarke has authored or co-authored 20+ professional legal articles on constitutional and bioethical issues. His most recent, co-authored with Dr. Donna Harrison, entitled “State Regulation of Chemical Abortion After Dobbs,” will be forthcoming from Liberty University Law Review in mid-2022.  His other articles have been published in the Wall Street Journal (“The Smart Way to Overturn Roe v. Wade”), Newsweek, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Times, The Federalist, The Hill, and many other newspapers and magazines.  Clarke has also been featured on three podcasts produced by the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. 
 
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.  Clarke 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 is now an Adjunct Professor of Bioethics.  Clarke and his wife, Karen, married for 43 years, have five daughters and fifteen grandchildren.
