PRO-LIFE WEBCASTSEPTEMBER 30 | 8 PM EDT
Join Mike Pence, 48th Vice President of the United States, on the 50th anniversary of the Hyde Amendment. Hear how it passed, what threatens it now, and what it will take to keep it.
Mike Pence served in Congress alongside Henry Hyde. Hear firsthand what it was like to work with the man behind the most consequential pro-life law of the last half-century.
Fifty years. Every Congress. One Supreme Court challenge. Hyde survived it all, and AUL’s legal team that defended it will explain why it keeps standing when many other laws haven’t.
Behind every statistic about Hyde is a person who is here because of it. Deanna Wallace credits the Hyde Amendment with why she is alive today. She’ll tell you the story in her own words.
Most Americans think Hyde is settled law. It isn’t. Congress must re-pass it every year. This fall, both parties are pressuring to weaken it. See where the threats are and what losing Hyde would mean.
Hyde protections cover most major federal health programs. Learn where taxpayer dollars are slipping around the law, how the abortion industry is banking on it, and what closing the gap would mean.
Hyde proved that pro-life laws can win and hold. Discover how it offers a proven roadmap for the future of pro-life law and how, together, we can build on its life-saving legacy.
Mike Pence served as the 48th Vice President of the United States from 2017 to 2021, following four years as Governor of Indiana and twelve years representing Indiana in the U.S. House of Representatives. During his House tenure, he served alongside Congressman Henry Hyde, the amendment’s author, in the years before Hyde’s retirement in 2007. A lifelong pro-life advocate, Pence founded Advancing American Freedom, a policy organization that continues to defend the Hyde Amendment and the sanctity of human life.
Rep. Chris Smith has served New Jersey’s Fourth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1981 and is now in his 23rd term.

A committed defender of the pro-life cause and once executive director of New Jersey Right to Life, Smith co-chairs the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus and continues to protect the Hyde Amendment and the dignity of every human life.
