You be the judge. The principal is Andrea Mrozek. Here's her day job.
Andrea currently works at the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada as Manager of Research and Communications.But PWPFP is not owned or affiliated with James Dobson's loathesome Focus on the Family, they say.
Seems opinions differ on that.
Focus on the Family Canada (French: Objectif Famille) is a Canadian affiliate of the American evangelical Christian organization Focus on the Family.It's all just a big coincidence that Mrozek moonlights as the principal of an astroturf anti-abortion website.
. . .
Focus on the Family Canada is operated and directed independently of Focus on the Family USA.[citation needed] However, some ties do exist between the two organizations. Between 2000 and 2003, the Canadian affiliate received $1.6 million in services from the larger American organization. Two members on the board of directors of Focus on the Family Canada, Tom Mason and Jim Daly, are also vice-presidents of Focus on the Family in the United States. Other than receiving financial support from Focus on the Family USA between 2000 and 2003, Focus on the Family Canada relies fully on donor support for its operations.

Focus on the Family Canada has also established the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada/Institut du Mariage et de la Famille Canada (IMFC).
Make sense to you?

While bloggers at DAMMIT JANET! are not 'anonymous' as charged, but rather pseudonymous with long-established online personae, not a single one of us makes a nickel from our pro-choice writing and activism.

G&M April 4, 2013 :
"Last month, the conservative British Columbia-based Canadian think tank, Focus on the Family, quietly promoted 36-year-old Andrea Mrozek to the post of executive director of its Ottawa research arm, the Institute of Marriage and Family."
Gosh and I remember back when she was Ezra Levant's associate editor at the Western Standard and her columns with fellow IMFC researcher Peter Jon Mitchell of Focus on the Family USA used to grace the National Post.
Thanks, Alison. She serves her masters well, doesn't she?
ProWomanProForcedPregnancy represents an interesting shift of co-opting the feminist and social justice rhetoric in the anti-choice movement. We pro-choicers must remain cognizant of it.
Fern, the social privilege that these women enjoy as white and middle-class individuals is what makes their "strong women are pro-life" slogan particularly annoying.
