I withdrew from the ABA in 1992 when they gave an award to Anita Hill.
That was at the same annual meeting that the ABA came out in favor of abortion.
I was contacted by that year’s ABA President who asked that I rejoin. I replied that,in the future, if I wanted to give money to the Democratic National Committee I would do it directly.
I was gratified to see that thousands of my fellow members also resigned that year, causing layoffs and serious cah flow problems at the ABA.
I have since personally convinced dozens of other attorneys to do the same.

We haven;t missed the ABA a bit.
