Remember a few days ago the death of the pro-life movement was announced by the Washington Post because money had been all but pouring into abortion rights organizations since the recent Supreme Court decision to ban partial birth abortion.

The pro-life movement was over as it was finally coming up against the big guns of the pro-choice movement which hadn’t taken us seriously before. But we were led to believe that now money was being left at their doorsteps. (They don’t leave babies at doorsteps, just money.)

That “fact” in the Post story was based on a quote from an abortion activist. However, the real facts (meaning the ones not made up by reporters) say something different.
