Essentially a one-note defunct advocacy group that was mildly newsworthy for losing a lawsuit in state court. I searched the usual Google suspects as well as Newspapers.com and found a smattering of mostly contemporary reporting about the lawsuit, with nothing about it since the suit ended in 2001 - so it's clear the suit had no WP:LASTING effects. There was one book source published in 2008 that mentioned the group sporadically in conjunction with other similar groups ([1]), but I wouldn't call it in-depth coverage.

Any other appearances I've found have been mentions of them in quotes, on the lines of "John Smith of Missionaries to the Unborn said XYV."

I don't think it's enough to maintain an article, and it's not suitable for a merge to Anti-abortion violence (no direct violence) or United States anti-abortion movement (would be WP:UNDUE in a broad-coverage article like that). ♠PMC(talk) 01:06, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
