LDI operates a number of simultaneous projects, often with a separate web site targeting that aspect of the group's work.
ClinicWorker.com: LDI encourages anti-abortion activists who congregate at abortion facilities to promote , a site urging abortion clinic staff to report wrongdoing, such as statutory rape, income tax evasion, Medicaid fraud, health and safety risks, and insurance fraud to authorities. LDI admits that part of the goal of this project is to sow discord and strife within abortion facilities. ClinicWorker.com is promoted by many anti-abortion web sites, but unlike other LDI projects has not generated much mainstream or pro-choice attention. Vicki Saporta, Executive Director of the National Abortion Federation, called ClinicWorker.com another attempt by Crutcher to drive abortion providers out of business, and said, "His attempts at these methods have not been successful in the past, and we're not concerned about his success in the future."
AbortionInjury.com: offers referrals to attorneys to represent women injured by abortion. Critics of this aspect of LDI's mission claim that the lawsuits thus filed are "frivolous".
Abortion Malpractice Program : a collection of services LDI provides to attorneys representing plaintiffs filing suit against abortion providers. The services range from advertising materials for attracting clients to linking with co-counsel. Life Dynamics Inc. launched this program in 1993 by mailing a 72-page booklet on how to pursue suits against abortion providers to 4,000 attorneys in the United States, and followed up with a two-day continuing education conference for attorneys the following year. Again, critics assert that the lawsuits in question are "frivolous". Crutcher himself admits that the mission of the Ab/Mal program is not only to provide legal redress, but also "to force abortionists out of business by driving up their insurance rates".
Previous projects
Bottom Feeder was a 16-page cartoontract filled with off-color humor about abortion practitioners which LDI mailed to 30,000 medical students. The jokes were mostly recycled lawyer jokes such as the following:
Bottom Feeder outraged pro-choice activists not only because of the "underlying tone of contempt and hatred for abortion providers", but also because it was mailed out in 1993, the same year abortion provider Dr. David Gunn was murdered. Medical Students for Choice was founded, in part, as a response to Bottom Feeder. Bottom Feeder also angered some pro-life activists who criticized the "distasteful and downright pornographic" nature of the booklet.
"Project Choice" was a survey LDI sent to abortion physicians about their experiences. Ostensibly a project by Texas students, the "Project Choice" survey was mailed to approximately 1,000 abortion providers, and with telephone and postcard follow-up, attained a 30% response rate.
