I am sure it was moderate and progressive pros who made the decisions. I think the "kids" had to be schooled by the old pros, like the NARAL folks which is a lefty hotbed. That author makes it sound like another case of the left being stupid, but I am sure it was some kids and the old pros ignored them and are the ones who designed it. The old pros would know what needed to be done. And guess where most of the money came from for the pro life---Catholic church! I posted the article below. Left-leaning PAC Gave Big to ‘No’ Vote CampaignThe Sixteen Thirty Fund, a left-leaning political action committee, gave $1.38 million to Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, the campaign organization established to oppose the Kansas abortion amendment. The fund, a so-called “dark money” group that does not disclose its donors, funnels money to Democrat and Democrat-aligned candidates and causes. Though the Sixteen Thirty Fund gave the largest single donation to Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, Planned Parenthood’s umbrella of affiliated organizations gave more money overall, $1.49 million. Together, those donations accounted for just over 40% of the $6.4 million raised by Kansans for Constitutional Freedom this year. Other groups who support abortion rights who contributed $100,000 or more include the American Civil Liberties Union, NARAL Pro-Choice America and The North Fund, a political action fund that supports left-leaning causes. The Center for Reproductive Rights, which also supported the lawsuit that resulted in the 2019 Kansas Supreme Court decision that preceded the Kansas abortion amendment, gave $125,000. More than $1.6 million of the money raised by Kansans for Constitutional Freedom this year came from 18 individual donors, each of whom gave between $10,000 and $1 million. The remaining $800,000 raised came from thousands of individual donors from across the country, including Kansas. Most of Kansans for Constitutional Freedom’s $5.7 million in 2022 expenditures was spent on campaigning services and advertising, including a more than $4 million payout to GMMB Inc. It is owned by Democratic political communications heavyweight Jim Margolis and has offices in Washington, D.C., Seattle and San Francisco.
