Washington Post:
. . . The ACLU has had to cut staff by 10 percent nationwide, thanks to the tough economic climate and reduced donations and grants, “including those from two foundations that were wiped out by the Bernard Madoff scandal,” ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero said in a statement Friday . . .
Today, NARAL Pro-Choice America also confirmed staff cuts. “NARAL Pro-Choice America is not immune to the most severe economic challenges facing Americans in more than 50 years,” explained Ted Miller, the abortion rights group’s communications director, in an e-mail . . . Miller declined to specify the size of the staff reduction, citing the privacy of “personnel actions.” . . .
