I've spent frigid nights sleeping in a vehicle in a Walmart parking lot, just so that we can afford to set up a table at an event. I've been inside several PP offices, NARAL's office, the RCRC office, and the temporary March for Women's Lives offices. All were nicer than any pro-life office I've been in, the latter three were located in downtown Washington, DC - a very expensive place to have an office. Not to mention all the NARAL, PP, and NOW fundraisers I've protested outside of.......we could only wish to have so many wealthy donors!

Right-wing groups are funded 100 times more than progressive ones. In turn, right-wing causes such as anti-choice movements get way mroe money than pro-choice. Glad to say a few of my bucks went into PP's PAC! You’re missing the point robert. Right-wing groups are funded 100 times more than progressive ones.

Compare this to, for example, National Right to Life Ed. Trust Fund (a fairly large pro-life organization), which brought in just under 2,000,000 (FY2005). I'd be happy to be proven wrong by being shown a pro-life organization that takes in as much money as Planned Parenthood (an unapologetically pro-abortion organization).

Right-wing causes are funded 100 million times more than left-wing ones... The right-wing infiltration on college campuses is not only well documented but true. Are you kidding me?

Yeah, occasionally you'll find one, but for the most part it's shoestring budgets for the prolifers and scatalogical humor for the boys.
