Anti-Choice Infighting Continues - National Right to Life dumps Colorado Right to Life

[ck4829]

It started in May, various Anti-Choice groups, groups such as Colorado Right to Life, a splinter Operation Rescue group, and the American Life League attacked James Dobson and Focus on the Family for not being Anti-Choice enough. Apparently, blows are still being exchanged between the militant Anti-Choice groups and the Anti-Choice groups that are friendly to the Republican Party.

"Colorado's anti-abortion movement is in turmoil after Colorado Right to Life was dumped by its national organization Wednesday, in large part for attacking Focus on the Family founder James Dobson.

"We got kicked out for speaking the truth," said Leslie Hanks, longtime vice president of Colorado Right to Life, one of the nation's oldest anti-abortion groups. "But we have to stand for what's right and suffer the consequences."

The booting of the organization, which was founded in the early 1970s - several years before National Right to Life - signals a deep philosophical rift in the movement. It's between those who believe abortion must be stopped all at once, which is the hard-line approach of Colorado Right to Life, and those who believe abortion will be overcome by making incremental changes in public beliefs and laws.

Officials of National Right to Life banished the Colorado chapter during its annual convention in Kansas City. The vote was at the urging of a new organization, Colorado Citizens for Life."
