QUOTE: Into that world comes a young William Wilberforce —
a young Parliamentarian — who saw this and said this is evil, this is wrong, I
will do what I can to fight it. In some ways, it's very similar to our
situation here with regard to abortion because that's a multi-million dollar
industry. You know the money that even our own Congress gives to Planned
Parenthood is reminiscent of the evil that was expressed in that day because
other Parliament members didn't want to touch that very lucrative business. And
so here you've got Wilberforce standing up and saying "this is wrong"
and he was vilified and attacked and discredited and marginalized. It sounds
kind of familiar to what happens to pro-life people today. ["William Wilberforce’s Courageous Stand for

Dobson A.K.A James Clayton
"Jim" Dobson, Jr. (born April 21, 1936) is an American
evangelical Christian author, psychologist, and founder in 1977 of Focus on the
Family (FOTF), which he led until 2003. In the 1980s he was ranked as one of
the most influential spokesmen for conservative social positions in American
public life. Although never an ordained minister, he was called "the
nation's most influential evangelical leader" by Time while Slate
portrayed him as a successor to evangelical leaders Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell,
and Pat Robertson. He is no longer affiliated with Focus on the Family. Dobson
founded Family Talk as a non-profit organization in 2010 and launched a new
radio broadcast, "Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson", that began May
3, 2010 on over 300 stations nationwide. As part of his former role in the
organization,
he produced Focus on the Family, a daily radio program which according
to the organization was broadcast in more than a dozen languages and on over
7,000 stations worldwide, and reportedly heard daily by more than 220 million
people in 164 countries. Focus on the Family was also carried by about
sixty U.S. television stations daily.
He founded the Family Research Council in 1981.
