    OK, I'll bite. Give me a couple of for instances. I know that no names of people involved with your organization that I can find appear on your website. I find that very odd. Most groups list who their medical/scientific advisors are.https://twitter.com/right_to_life/status/1007626768742830080 …

    There are plenty of medical professionals involved in our organization. But that's not the point, you're stuck with arguing about degrees and the finer points of the definition of "derived," because you don't want to just say "people don't have a right to know."

        Particularly odd is that the @Right_to_Life website does not, as far as I've been able to find, list its president, officers, board of directors, etc. Nearly all legit nonprofits list that information on their websites. RTL doesn't. I wonder why.

        We have a policy against giving out board member information (because of harassment issues), but here's a couple of examples I can give you. Dr. Larry Burns is one of our founders and a long-time OB/GYN in Grand Rapids.

        Funny, but @PPFA lists its board and senior staff on its website, and PP has been subject to incredible amounts of harassment at the hands of antiabortion activists, including death threats. So PP is braver than you are. Understood.https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-michigan/who-we-are/board-senior-staff …

        Dr. Joe Kincaid from Kalamazoo served on our board for decades before recently passing away. He was another one of our founders, worked in internal medicine for decades.

        Given that he passed away, he likely couldn't have had anything to do with this bill.

        We have affiliate leaders, staff, board members, and speakers who are doctors, nurses, degrees in hard sciences, university professors. Our legislative director, Genevieve Marnon, who is working on this bill, has a degree in biology.

        Enjoying watching you doing the rhetorical equivalent of sniping each of these weak-ass points from a rooftop in the responses
