Abortion rights groups say battle being lost

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - In Wichita, Kansas, abortion rights supporters held a "chili for choice" fund-raising dinner. In Pierre, South Dakota, they plotted strategy in the "Back Alley" meeting hall. And in Minneapolis, volunteers led women past protesters into an abortion clinic.
. . .
So on Thursday they paid $25 a head to eat chili in Wichita, Kansas. On Sunday they showed a film and talked about strategy in Pierre, South Dakota. And every Saturday, they escort women into a Planned Parenthood clinic in Minneapolis.

"It's a mystery to me how we've elected such right-wing lawmakers who are trying to keep government off our backs, but apparently don't mind putting government in our bedrooms," said Thelma Underberg, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice South Dakota. "I think it is time to get active and push the pendulum back the other way."
