Dear John,

Merry Christmas from Americans United for Life! As you gather with family and friends during this special day, I thank you for your gracious support of AUL and our movement this year.

This holiday has great meaning for those of us who are pro-life. In a cold, lonely stable, the Son of God was born on that Christmas night two millennia ago. A child. A gift. A ray of hope.

As I reflect on this year of ups and downs in the pro-life movement, I can't help but think that's the same message our movement must continue to use to change hearts and minds for our cause. A child is a gift. A child brings hope.

May you feel the warmth and blessing of this sacred day, and may our cause be ever motivated to share the truth about life all throughout the year.
