'the opposition has... seemingly deep pockets' - help me debunk this

Someone in my union branch facebook page posted a link to an odious and frankly silly article in Gay Star News (they posted it seriously, though). Most of it's risible and easily refuted. However, I'm intrigued by this statement:

'The opposition to reform has loud mouths and seemingly deep pockets'

The only deep pockets I'm aware of are those of Stonewall and the likes of LGBT Yoth Scotland (we're in Scotland and they're a big player). Are there any 'deep pockets' that anyone knows of amongst the women's rights groups? I'm curious, and I don't want to say anything wrong that I can be picked up for - I'm expecting plenty of flak so want to avoid any obvious traps.

The article is here for info, but it's not worth the time spent reading it unless you have to.

Yes, I saw someone who worked in that industry trying to explain that rate cards are nonsense and never, ever followed. They weren’t really listening.

my DD sent me a link to that article, OP Sad
I have responded with a few links to news items that demonstrate we are right to be worried but I have no idea if she read them. It's a stupid article. Belittling women's fears about their own and children's safety is not a good look.
