Inside his small office, Jim Sedlak picks the receiver and listens as worried callers sound off about the Planned Parenthood Federation ofAmerica’s newest clinic of its distribution of pamphlets in their are

A、They don’t like it, they tell him, but they don’t know how to stop it. So Sedlak leans back in his chair and, drawing on almost 20 years of experience, tells them how tiny anti-abortion groups can tackle the nation’s largest abortion-rights group.
Sedlak has been taking aim at Planned Parenthood for years through his small, grassroots anti-abortion organization,American Life League’s STOPP International, a two-man group whose sole mission is to bring down its giant ideological opponent. Planned Parenthood normally brushes off attacks from such "fringe groups", reserving its considerable strength for reproductive healthcare services and advocacy.But it’s hard to ignore recent anti-abortion legislative victories like the ban on so-called partial birth abortion passed in November, the more recent Unborn Victims of ViolenceAct, which defines fetuses as unborn children, and similar state measures against fetal homicide.Anti-abortion activities regaining ground, and that has forced Planned Parenthood to take a closer lock at the opposition. "It gives us a big challenge," Planned Parenthood President Gloria Feldt told NEWSWEEK, "but we’re ready."
Feldt has learned that even individual efforts can have nationwide ripple effects. Take the case of John Pisciotta, director of Pro-life Waco and aBaylor University economies professor, who sparked a furor in Waco, Texas, this February when he decided to attack the relationship between the local Gift Scouts council and Planned ParenthooD、The council, long a participant in a half-day Planned Parenthood conference on puberty education had ignored Pisciotta’s pleas to distance itself from what he considered "an assault onChristian morality."After chatting with Sedlak, a longtime friend, Psciotta recorded a 60-second spot for aChristian radio station urging listeners to reconsider supporting the scouts. Then, he asked them to boycott their Thin Mints.
The cookie boycott wasn’t successful—sales actually rose 2 percent—hot the local council did break off its relationship with the group.And, much to Pisciotta’s surprise, his local concern became a national one. STOPP was flooded with phone calls from angry parents demanding to know whether their councils were linked with Planned ParenthooD、Individual Girl Scouts troops have autonomy in choosing their programs, and nationalCEO KimCloninger has said that those aligned with Planned Parenthood would continue their relationships. Sedlak compile a list of them that he posted online last week. It’s up to individual viewers, he says, to decide what to do with that information.
In the last two paragraphs the author wants to tell us ______.
A、individual efforts can be influential and can not be ignored
B.the difficulty in front of the anti-abortion group
C.the case of Piciotta
D.the success of the anti-abortion side
