What caused the number of abortions performed in America to decline?

| No Comments

Thursday, March 15, at 11:00 am (today!), Family Research Council, located at 801 G Street, NW, will present "Pro-Life Success in the States: Strategies for the Current Decade and Beyond", a lecture given by Michael J. New, Ph.D.

What caused the number of abortions performed in America to decline by 20 percent since 1990? In this provocative presentation, Professor Michael New from the University of Alabama debunks the notions that this decline was caused by the strong economy and increased contraception use. Instead, the most important reason for this decline was the tremendous amount of success that the pro-life movement had in enacting protective legislation at the state level.

Michael J. New, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Alabama. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate from Dartmouth College, Dr. New received a master's degree in statistics and a doctorate in political science from Stanford University in 2002. Before coming to Alabama, Dr. New worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard-MIT Data Center.

Who: Michael J. New, Ph.D.

What: "Pro-Life Success in the States: Strategies for the Current Decade and Beyond."

When: Thursday, March 15, 2007
