Life Dynamics Inc. (LDI) is an anti-abortion organization founded by Mark Crutcher in 1992. It is headquartered in Denton, Texas. The organization's motto is, "Pro-Life: without compromise, without exception, without apology". 〔"(About Life Dynamics )." (n.d.). Retrieved August 23, 2006. 〕 ==Company Profile== Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) lists LDI on its "Profiles of 15 Anti-Choice Organizations". 〔Weiss, Deborah. (2001). "(Profiles of 15 Anti-Choice Organizations )." Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Retrieved August 23, 2006.〕 According to Planned Parenthood, LDI's income for fiscal year 2003 was $1,115,258. PPFA notes that LDI is opposed to abortion, fetal tissue and embryonic stem cell research, Planned Parenthood, and the International Planned Parenthood Federation. 〔 In founding Life Dynamics, Crutcher said that he wanted to fill the gaps left by other organizations. One shortcoming he noticed was in what he called "professional counter-intelligence or intelligence-gathering". Thus, Crutcher focuses much of his organization's efforts on operations involving gathering new data on abortion facilities and pro-choice organizations. 〔Gosgnach, Tony. (April 2005). "(Q & A with: Mark Crutcher )." ''The Interim.'' Retrieved August 23, 2006. 〕 LDI is endorsed by Alan Keyes, who referred to LDI as, "a cutting edge approach to spreading the message of the pro-life movement"; Joseph Scheidler of Pro-Life Action League, who says, "I appreciate everything Life Dynamics does"; Judy Brown of American Life League, who praised LDI for "aggressiveness" and "accuracy"; Dr. Jack Willke of Life Institute and International Right to Life Federation, who calls LDI "a spear carrier"; and Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, who appears regularly on LDI's'' LifeTalk'' program. 〔"(Endorsements For Life Dynamics )."

Retrieved August 23, 2006.〕 LDI has been criticized by Dr. Warren Hern, an abortion provider in Boulder, Colorado, who said, "we cannot underestimate the determination of Life Dynamics to destroy us". 〔 Vicki Saporta, executive director of the National Abortion Federation, said of LDI in 2000, "This is an organization that should be investigated for some serious illegal activity". 〔"( Life Dynamics: Antiabortion Group's Tactics Draw Criticism )." (March 22, 2000). ''Kaiser Daily Reproductive Health Report.'' Retrieved August 23, 2006.〕 Planned Parenthood Federation of America condemns LDI for "harassment and intimidation" and "public misinformation campaigns". 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Life Dynamics Inc.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
