- Pizz,
- while being polite isn't really important here, I think that physically
- restraining people, which the anti-choice people have done outside the
- clinics is a bit too much. I think that the people that you have mentioned
- above have gone too far. But I'll bet that I don't see the current
- administration defend their right to break the law like the previous
- administration did in defending Operation Rescue multiple times before
- the United States Supreme Court.

- P.S.
- I can't speak for Kerry, but I believe that the request to be polite was
- done facestiously. Try not to be such a hardass! :-)
- And Pizz,...., relax these are the holidays after all! :-)
