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

AUTHOR: James 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.
