David Alameel is on the advisory board of the Catholic Foundation.
Dr. Alameel is a member of the Catholic Foundation's Advisory Board. The board gave a significant grant last year (.pdf) to the Catholic Crisis Pregnancy Centers/Birthchoice. That organization -- the one in Dallas, where the foundation is also headquartered -- is quite obviously not a women's clinic where pregnancy termination is an option.
Crisis pregnancy centers generally are not known for their pro-choice initiatives. I suppose if I were an enterprising journalist, my first question of Dr. Alameel might be: is there any internal conflict between the advisory board's awarding of this grant and your pro-choice views?
