But the battle isn't being fought on equal ground. Pro-life organizations raise their money $5 and $10 at a time from ordinary people. Pro-aborts raise their money by the billions from abortion profits, government funding, major foundation grants, and other big-money sources.

I'm on the board of trustees of our local Right to Life organization. We meet on our own time, try to scrape up money from dues, garage sales, a thrift shop, etc., and every meeting we worry about whether we can operate for another month. By contrast, our opponents have paid jobs opposing us, at which they put in 40 hours a week. They don't have to oppose us on their own time, the do it during working hours. I know, life isn't fair, but it does irk me.

Is one of the goals of your org. the abolition of abortion? Probably not.

In fact most groups specifically state that stopping abortions is not one of their goals (it's a violation of law to stop a baby shredding). If you said that the Abolition of Abortion is your goal, then you'd quickly realize that;

the central government that sanctions the slaughter of the preborn

by law, by LEO force & by redistributing 100's of millions of your tax dollars to Planned Parenthood Inc., by fining, imprisoning & executing prolife activist's that dare stop a baby shredding, and so on,

is your enemy.

Baby shredding is evil. The sanction of evil is likewise evil.

The Abolition of Abortion. Everything else is BS. Everything else is beating around the bush. Everything else is denial of the obvious.

I used to serve on the BOD of a pro-life Pregnancy Center in Maryland, before abandoning that benighted state. I'll second your comments: our bread-and-butter was the $25 check. We thought a "big donation" was a few hundred or a grand from the local Knights of Columbus.
