Inside his small office, Jim Sedlak picks the receiver and listens as worried callers sound off about the Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s newest clinic of its distribution of pamphlets in their area. They don’t like it, they tell him, but they don’t know how to stop it. So Sedlak leans back in his chair and, drawing on almost 20 years of experience, tells them how tiny anti-abortion groups can tackle the nation’s largest abortion-rights group.
Sedlak has been taking aim at Planned Parenthood for years through his small, grassroots anti-abortion organization, American Life League’s STOPP International, a two-man group whose sole mission is to bring down its giant ideological opponent. Planned Parenthood normally brushes off attacks from such "fringe groups", reserving its considerable strength for reproductive healthcare services and advocacy. But it’s hard to ignore recent anti-abortion legislative victories like the ban on so-called partial birth abortion passed in November, the more recent Unborn Victims of Violence Act, which defines fetuses as unborn children, and similar state measures against fetal homicide①. Anti-abortion activities regaining ground, and that has forced Planned Parenthood to take a closer look at the opposition. "It gives us a big challenge," Planned Parenthood President Gloria Feldt told NEWSWEEK, "but we’re ready."
Feldt has learned that even individual efforts can have nationwide ripple effects. Take the case of John Pisciotta, director of Pro-life Waco and a Baylor University economics professor, who sparked a furor in Waco, Texas, this February when he decided to attack the relationship between the local Girl Scouts council and Planned Parenthood②. The council, long a participant in a half-day Planned Parenthood conference on puberty education, had ignored Pisciotta’s pleas to distance itself from what he considered "an assault on Christian morality." After chatting with Sedlak, a longtime friend, Psciotta recorded a 60-second spot for a Christian radio station urging listeners to reconsider supporting the scouts. Then, he asked them to boycott their Thin Mints.
The cookie boycott wasn’t successful—sales actually rose 2 percent—but the local council did break off its relationship with the group. And, much to Pisciotta’s surprise, his local concern became a national one. STOPP was flooded with phone calls from angry parents demanding to know whether their councils were linked with Planned Parenthood. Individual Girl Scouts troops have autonomy in choosing their programs, and national CEO Kim Cloninger has said that those aligned with Planned Parenthood would continue their relationships. Sedlak compile a list of them that he posted online last week. It’s up to individual viewers, he says, to decide what to do with that information. [br] STOPP is ______.
选项
A、an organization supporting abortion
B、an organization against abortion
C、a giant organization
D、an organization whose president is Gloria Feldt
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。本题的关键是对第二段第一句中同位关系的把握。文中“American Life League’s STOPP International”是前面“anti-abortion organization”的同位语,由此可以断定B为正确选项,排除A 。“a two-man group”也是“anti-abortion organization”的同位语,由此可知与STOPP对立的组织才是庞大的,故C 错误;由第二段最后一句可知D 不合题意。
