Your last paragraph at least hints at it, if not strongly implies it. But you're right, there is a lack of proof. I certainly can't say for sure one way or the other what would happen.
I do not agree with you. I believe I've been pretty clear. My main point is that I don't necessarily think either camp will contribute more money than the other, so if one of them has to be pissed off by the choice, why change unless it is political? I originally started out discussing it as an even trade, but as I said in the last response, others have made good points regarding the likelihood that pro-lifers will step up w/o PP AND enough pro-choicers will stay on board for it to be a net gain. I said nothing about pro-lifers not being likely to donate to breast cancer charities.
