If you are going to put out any material to the public, in any form, that material has to be cleared by ASPA. The ASPA has a seat at the table when new programs are being developed. Say what you will about Donald Trump but he’s already done more for the pro-life cause than the last two Republican presidents combined. Link to the full article to read more
