Life Dynamics Inc. (LDI) is an anti-abortion organization founded by Mark Crutcher in 1992. It is headquartered in Denton, Texas.

Company profile

Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) lists LDI on its "Profiles of 15 Anti-Choice Organizations".[1] PPFA says that LDI is opposed to abortion, as well as research using fetal tissue or embryonic stem cells.[1]

In founding Life Dynamics, Crutcher said that he wanted to fill the gaps left by other organizations. One shortcoming he noticed was in what he called "professional counter-intelligence or intelligence-gathering". Thus, Crutcher focuses his organization's efforts on operations involving gathering new data on abortion facilities and organizations which support abortion rights.[clarification needed] [2]

LDI is endorsed by Alan Keyes, who referred to LDI as "a cutting edge approach to spreading the message of the pro-life movement"; Joseph Scheidler of Pro-Life Action League, who says, "I appreciate everything Life Dynamics does"; Judy Brown of American Life League, who praised LDI for aggressiveness and accuracy; Dr. Jack Willke of Life Institute and International Right to Life Federation, who calls LDI "a spear carrier"; and Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, who appears regularly on LDI's LifeTalk program.[3]

Dr. Warren Hern, an abortion provider in Boulder, Colorado, said, "we cannot underestimate the determination of Life Dynamics to destroy us".[3]

Ongoing activities

LDI operates a number of simultaneous projects, often with a separate web site targeting that aspect of the group's work.
