The easiest way to compile a quick list was to do a search through my own posts from the past few months, so this is by no means a comprehensive overview. I tried to limit the links to ones concerning the anti-contraception, anti-choice lobbying here in the US, though the issues are global. The involvement of the evangelical fundamentalists is already well known.
Hope this helps.
