Missouri Right to Life is crying foul after the Kansas City Royals baseball team removed the pro-life group's name from its Web site after protests abortion supporters protested.
Right to Life was one of several groups using the June 19 game against the St. Louis Cardinals as a fundraiser; the team routinely acknowledges groups doing such fundraising on the Internet.
But the Royals caved to pressure brought by Planned Parenthood and the aide of a liberal Missouri legislator. Missouri Right to Life had reserved a block of 300 tickets for the game.
"It seems like pro-abortion people are controlling the Royals," Right to Life spokesperson Susan Klein said.
Planned Parenthood tried to link the fundraiser to the killing of Kansas abortionist George Tiller.
"There's no reason to tie the two together," Klein told Baptist Press. "We're a group of people trying to attend a ballgame who happen to be pro-life."
