• Dismantling the Big Abortion Industry that is profiting at the expense of women. • Raising awareness through media of abortion's harm to women; • Laying the legal groundwork to overturn Roe.

AUL's strategy involves producing, distributing and enacting model legislation designed to save women and children from the destruction of abortion, assisting in the defense of such legislation when it is challenged in courts of law, and educating the public on the harmful impact of Big Abortion on women and its destruction on society. Our specific strategies in these areas are highly confidential due to the strong opposition we face from the Big Abortion Industry which seeks to profit off of women in a crisis pregnancy situation.

As its greatest resource, Americans United for Life has the best legal, legislative, policy and media experts on staff (see: http://www. aul. org/about-aul/team/). AUL also has the longest and richest history of any pro-life organization in the United States, have worked to defend life two years before Roe v. Wade was decided (See: http://www. aul. org/about-aul/history/).

1. A reduction in abortion rates (which we are seeing in recent reports from the CDC and Guttmacher Insitute)2. The enactment of pro-life laws (which we are seeing in the recent surge of pro-life legislation and AUL's involvement in enacting one third (or 74) of those laws. )3. Increased public awareness of abortion's harm to women and children (which we are seeing in the significant media attention given to AUL with 78. 6 million media mentions in 2013).

AUL has been involved in enacting one third (representing 74 bills) of the surge of pro-life laws we have seen enacted since 2011. In 2014, Bloomberg declared, "Americans United for Life has been a driving force behind [this] surge, providing state lawmakers with templates to enact abortion restrictions. " The impact of these laws has a dramatic effect on reducing abortion. Citing the passage of pro-life laws as a factor, the Centers for Disease Control reported a 5% decrease in abortions occurring in 2008 and a 3% decrease in 2009. Likewise, the Guttmacher Institute recently announced that abortions have decreased 13% from 2008, their lowest point since Roe v. Wade was enacted in 1973. According to Dr. Michael New of University of Michigan, legislative efforts to enact parental involvement laws, informed consent laws, and limits on taxpayer funding of abortions has contributed to a 25% nationwide decline in the number of abortions performed since 1992. (New, Michael. 2011. "Analyzing the Effect of Anti-Abortion U. S. State Legislation in the Post-Casey Era. " State Politics and Policy Quarterly 11(1) 28-47. ) AUL has also been involved in every U. S. Supreme Court case since Roe v. Wade and has had great success in assisting with the defense of pro-life laws in the Courts.
