But they dont!
Their donations are a tax-exempt, but they get 85% of their funding from private donors.
Some of the biggest are The Ford, and Rockefellow foundation, and the PRO-Life movement!

DES MOINES -- The Iowa Civil Liberties Union today blasted school officials for threatening to punish two teenage girls who wore anti-abortion T-shirts to school. The group also offered to assist the students in their quest to continue wearing the shirts at school.

"These students had their free speech rights violated, and the ICLU stands ready to defend them," said Ben Stone, Executive Director of the ICLU. "This appears to be a clear case of government abuse of power, and it must be stopped."

The ICLU, which staunchly defends the reproductive rights of women, also has a long track record of defending the rights of anti-abortion and conservative Christian groups.

In 1990, the Iowa affiliate of the ACLU successfully represented an anti-abortion group in a dispute with Iowa City over an unconstitutional parade ordinance. In 1995, a conservative Christian activist, Elaine Jaquith of Waterloo, had her rights vindicated by the ICLU in a case involving her free speech rights on public access television. Conservative Christians in Clarke County in 1997 won the right to force a county referendum on gambling after the ICLU took up their case.

In addition, the ICLU submitted a friend-of-the-court brief in 2002 in support of the right of students in Davenport schools to distribute Christian literature, including Bibles, during non-instructional time. The school eventually backed down and allowed the literature to be distributed.

"When the ACLU and ICLU say we defend everyone's rights, we mean it," said Stone.

For more information on the ACLU's work defending religious liberty, go to "".

http://www.aclu.org/studentsrights/expression/12852prs20050429.html

Upon further investigation these are isolated incidents and in more cases than not they do oppose the the attempts by the pro life organization to stomp on the rights of women to seek an abortion.
Although the pro-life organization does at times, as in these cases fund the ACLU!

My original statement that they are not funded in any way by the government stands!

The ACLU receives funding from a large number of sources. For example, in 2004, the ACLU and its affiliate, the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation reported revenues totaling $85,559,887. Of that total, 87% was from donations and dues from the public, 1.8% from program services, including awards of legal fees, royalty income, and literature sales, and the remainder from investment income and income from sale of assets. The distribution and amount of funding for state affiliates varies from state to state. For example, the ACLU of New Jersey reported $1.2 million in income to both the ACLU-NJ and its affiliated tax-exempt foundation in the 2005 fiscal year. Of that income, 46% came from contributions, 19% came from membership dues, 18% came from court awarded attorney fees, 12% came from grants, 4% came from investment income and the remainder from other sources. Its expenses in the same period were $800,000, of which 12% went to administration and management. Smaller affiliates with fewer resources, such as that in Nebraska, receive subsidies from the national ACLU.

We need SOMEONE to protect the American people Cival liberties. A Wise man once said (Benjamin Franklin, u know, one of this countrys founding fathers) "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security"

And here is another to live your life by "Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.
