Dear Friend,
I know you’ve seen all of the polling data that’s been circulating recently about Americans’ views on life issues. In interviews I’ve done over the past week on FOX News, in the New York Times, and in the Los Angeles Times, the media seems shocked by the country’s pro-life attitude. But you and I aren’t surprised. We know how important a culture of life is to Americans.
Just this week, AUL sponsored a poll to learn what Americans want in a Supreme Court nominee. And the overwhelming majority said that they don’t want liberal activist judges legislating from the bench.
That’s not all. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all agree that the President’s nominee should be someone who won’t reverse common-sense abortion regulations or support partial-birth abortions. (The results of the poll on our website, along with a letter I sent yesterday to every U.S. Senator.)
And yet, as we detailed in the report we released last week, the current “short-list” of potential Supreme Court nominees is filled with pro-abortion ideologues and committed judicial activists. For example, one person on the list is Janet Napolitano, the current head of Homeland Security . . . and the same person who defended the DHS report that listed abortion opponents among extremists because we’re pro-life!
The new administration in Washington wants to ignore what AUL’s new polling data confirms: Americans oppose activist judges with a political agenda. But they underestimate us — you and me and millions of other people who won’t stay silent when it comes to protecting life in this country.
That’s why it’s so important we continue to make ourselves heard. As President Obama prepares to nominate someone for the Supreme Court, we need to continue to make our commitment to life known.
In the DHS report, bumper stickers were mentioned as indicators of “extremism” . . . so we’ve got one for you!
Will you help us by publicly standing together with AUL to tell the federal government that we won’t be silent? With a gift of $25, $10, or even $5, you can receive an AUL window decal as a way to demonstrate your commitment to life and solidarity with AUL’s efforts.
We want to send a loud and clear message that we will not be intimidated into backing down. Do you have friends who will join us in speaking up for those who can’t defend themselves? We’ll send you decals for them as well!
Even the Washington Post has noticed how “energized” pro-lifers are! The stakes are so high — thank you for standing with us!
For life,
Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D.
President & CEO
Americans United for Life
P.S. — Please take a public stand that you are pro-life. With your gift of $25, $10, or even $5, we will send you AUL window decals so you can publicly demonstrate your commitment to life. Thank you for standing up for life with AUL!

Why can’t those of us who believe that abortion is murder stand up as concientious objectors and insist that our tax money not be used to murder innocent unborn infants?
It sickens me to think that I am helping to slaughter infants by giving the government money to pay for such procedures. My religious beliefs should allow me to say that my money can’t be used for something that I fervently believe is an unforgiveable sin.
Dear Mary, What a great idea. I will send it out to all my pro life friends and family. Thank you so much for this plan.
