The primary work of AVA involves broad-based public awareness campaigns. Some of our efforts involve legislative initiatives and judicial activity. Using our own personal experience with abortion, we work with both federal and state legislative programs to protect the lives of others facing the same crisis we've experienced. We are working to foster greater sensitivity to the truth about abortion and abortion's aftermath at all levels of the media. It is in these two areas that we feel our stories can have a dramatic impact on public opinion. Members work within the pro-life movement to save lives through public speaking, lobbying, media appearances, and writing. AVA is not directly involved with counseling work but does refer to other groups when possible.
American Victims of Abortion is aware of the need for much in-depth work in the area of post-abortion healing. Our members support and encourage the development of honest, caring support systems across the country. We are encouraging further research into Post-Abortion Syndrome because we believe understanding is the key to healing.
