Anatomy of the War on Women: How the Koch Brothers are Funding the Anti-Choice Agenda

"Members of the Koch network are primarily motivated by a quest to eliminate worker, consumer and environmental protections in the interest of reaping even greater profits for their businesses. In order to accrue power in the electoral arena, however, they’re apparently all too eager to feed the fears of white social conservatives — including the fear of government intrusion — who can be counted on to vote against liberals.

While most of the groups behind the attacks on unions claim no official position on abortion or reproductive health, they share an interest with anti-choice groups in depleting the power of Democrats, who are more inclined to support reproductive rights. In most states, in fact, the very same legislators who champion the right’s pro-business, anti-regulatory agenda were the ones who advanced legislation to heap new and destructive regulations on abortion clinics, and to restrict women’s rights."

Members of Harper's caucus have strong ties to some of the groups who send money and information into Canada.
