posting their website was halfway facetious, but they do have a "leader" (Orly Taitz) and some US legislators support. I don't know what else you think they need to be a "movement". Their efforts won't be successful, but that doesn't make their organization of people and resources any less real

So is Pro Life not a movement because they haven't had the political power to change the issue?
