Different groups specialize in their own area of expertise, and are not fit to do the work done by other groups. (2) Legal reasons involving: insurance, corporate structure, potential lawsuits, federal & state non-profit rules, etc., prevent some groups from being involved in work that they would otherwise like to participate in. Finally, (3) although all proLife groups agree on the ultimate goal of protecting the unborn child, different groups do not always agree on the best strategy and top priorities to achieve that ultimate goal.
