Here's a stretch: the anti choicers have a 'Susan B Anthony fund'
They award money from this fund to women who are running for office and oppose choice.

Now something tells me Susan B Anthony would not approve of her name being used by the anti choice folks. She opposed abortion because at that time it was unsafe and had a high mortality rate for the mothers. She also felt that equal rights for women would eliminate the need for abortion (which leads me to believe she may have supported birth control?).

Here is the article I read where I learned about this fund.

1. Seems analogous to people opposed to affirmative action establishing a "Martin Luther King fund."
Exploiting somebody's name to achieve a goal completely opposite to what the person would've wanted... Seems almost Orwellian, doesn't it?
