Operation Rescue, an extremist anti-abortion organization, says it is going broke and may shut down. How, er, sad:
Operation Rescue, one of the nation’s highest-profile groups in the anti-abortion movement, has told its supporters it is facing a “major financial crisis” and is very close to shutting down unless emergency help arrives soon.
The group’s president, Troy Newman, blamed the economic downturn for its money woes in a desperate plea e-mailed Monday night to donors. But the Wichita-based organization has also been under attack from both fringe anti-abortion militants and abortion rights supporters since the May 31 shooting death of Dr. George Tiller.
“We’re now so broke (as the saying goes), we can’t even pay attention,” Newman wrote.
Newman told The Associated Press in an interview after the mailing that the group has only four paid employees left, compared to nine a year ago. The group typically has an annual budget of $600,000, but donations this year have been down 30 to 40 percent. Newman, who earns $60,000 annually, said he hasn’t been paid in two months.
I wouldn’t shed any tears if they went broke. Good riddance.

Must be God testing their faith, hey? That God, he’s a laugh, isn’t he?
God clearly disapproves.
good riddance indeed
if only the Family Council would go broke too
And Operation Save America.
And Concerned women for america and the templeton foundation and….. Ahaaa there so many.
Excellent. Personally, I can see both sides of the Abortion issue, but I have no time for these extremists.
Nor money for them either, I’ll bet!
Quite so!
Apparently the magic man can’t magically make money appear either.
Finally, some good news about the ecomomy!
Have they tried praying? Because, that like always works, right……
Maybe Mr Newman needs to give away all his personal savings…as seed money, of course. It’ll come back 100 fold I hear.
I just keep seeing that $600,000 and thinking what a USEFUL purpose that COULD HAVE gone to! ARGH.
I have one thing to say:

Makes me want to shed a tear for them….or raise a glass to the economic troubles.
Ciao putas.
Anyone want to bet how long before FOX news publish some BS conspiracy theory about how the Obama administration and the liberal left are responsible for these A**holes going broke.
I give it till the end of the week.
i bet ACORN is involved somehow.
Payback’s a bitch. They like to go on about how their organization doesn’t condone violence against doctors who perform abortions, but they know full well that their rhetoric inspires people to do just that. The blood of Dr. Tiller is all over their hands no matter what they claim. They are hypocrites of the highest degree and I wish this were a corporation of some kind so that the lives of the people involved would be ruined by its failure.
Okay, so I get my froth on about these guys, sorry about that.
Bout time.
Making 60,000 spreading deceit and hate? Nice job. Guess you have to be cut out for it. Not much for people who value morals, compassion, reason and truth though.
