- CCHILD,

- So, I presume you are going to be fervent in your support of
- freedom of speech and assembly, and support the right of the PRO-LIFE
- groups to assemble around abortion clinics and verbally SAY whatever
- they want to to the people going in for an abortion. It would seem
- that they have the right to such forms of protest. As for your analogy
- to picketing churches, you obviously haven't been paying attention to
- the news. These AIDS radical activists have been disrupting services
- and protesting INSIDE St. patrick's Cathedral throughout the past year.
- In fact, that would be the legal equivalent of pro-life activists
- protesting INSIDE abortion clinics, and disrupting the performance of
- the abortions themselves. Lets be a little consistent sir.
-
- Make up your mind. Does Howard Stern have freedom of speech because
- you like him? And pro-life groups do not because you do not like their
- speech? Do AIDS activists have the right to disrupt church services
- INSIDE a church? and Pro-Life activists do not have the right to
- assemble and protest OUTSIDE a clinic??? Please try to be consistent.
- It really isn't asking too much.
