Americans United for Life campaign to undo the legal right to abortion enshrined in Roe v. Wade

Limits on the legal right to abortion are sweeping through legislatures across the United States, from moves to require women seeking abortion to undergo intrusive ultrasounds, to the defunding of Planned Parenthood, America's largest family planning provider.

It describes itself on its website as "public-interest law and policy" group with a simple mission: "Everyone is welcomed in life and protected in law".
In effect, it is the legal arm of the anti-abortion movement, with an orchestrated campaign to undo on a state-by-state basis the legal rights to abortion enshrined in the historic Roe v. Wade supreme court decision in 1973.
