Activities

Crutcher is credited with pioneering the strategy of recruiting what he called "spies for life" to find information about abortion providers in order to help them out of business. Crucher inspired David Daleiden who was responsible for the "baby parts" investigation of Planned Parenthood. As of December 2015, Crutcher said he is planning to "unleash a whole army of David Daleidens" to spy on abortion providers "in every part of the country."[1]

Publications

He is the author of:

  • Lime 5, described on the LDI web site as, "an exposé of the abortion industry".[2][3]

He has also written strategy manuals for anti-abortion activists:

  • On Message: The Pro-Life Handbook ISBN 0-9648886-1-0
  • LTW 250 — a guide to writing letters to the editor and is reprinted in full by Priests for Life on their website.[4]
gollark: Anyway, this doesn't seem to... explain anything usefully? It seems like a retroactive justification for *why* stuff is the way it is, but in a way which doesn't seem amenable to making useful predictions, and is also extremely vague.
gollark: Also, screenshots exist. Please use them.
gollark: Never mind, I found the "cosmicwatch" thing online.
gollark: How does it detect muons?
gollark: You just have two particles where, if one has property X, the other is known to have the opposite property, is my very limited understanding.
