WASHINGTON, March 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Thursday, March 15, at
 11:00 am, 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

 Data Center.
