Probably for the same reason that feminists, blacks, and people of various different religions have their own groups -- to show that the pro-life movement is diverse and contains people from all walks of life, not just women-hating white religious men, as is often the liberal media's portrait of the movement.

That is EXACTLY right! PLAGAL and similar groups (like Feminists for Life) have been trying for years to get media coverage of their opposition to abortion. PLAGAL shows up at Gay Pride rallies to make the point that people need not agree with all the views of the conservative Right in order to take a stand against the tragedy of abortion. I think the pro-life movement should advertise its diversity instead of stifling it. It would do a lot to counteract the image the media has presented.

You are absolutely right as usual, madprof98. The pro-life movement is hurt if it's image is one of exclusion and intolerance. One need not approve of a group's lifestyle to accept it's help in a just and righteous cause.

Ten years ago or so, Nellie Gray tried unsuccessfully to exclude the Feminists for Life Executive Director from speaking with all the other recognized groups at the March. I guess she doesn't like feminists either.
