- Actually, you will see that they claim to oppose these
- tactics, but do not put the energy into preventing them that
- they do into blocading clinics, for instance. Priorities, I
- know, but I had to comment. Claiming to oppose and doing
- nothing about it bears a striking resemblance to support, or
- at least to acceptance...

- That explains the black eye I got from being kicked in the
- face by one after having been knocked down by another. I
- wasn't police, just escort. Of course the scratches and
- bruises that they gave the mother were accidental too.
- Thanks for clarifying the policy for me...
-
- Incidentally, she was there for a pre-nate checkup and
- consultation. But then, that doesn't matter to Operation
- Rescue either...

- Thank you for avoiding the inaccurate term "murder".

- You're ahead of Rush Limbaugh on this one...

-
- Most sincerely believe that it is the womans right to choose.
- Any other generalization would be inappropriate.

- Please explain the hate so evident to you in this behavior.
- Scorn, perhaps. Ridicule, even... but hate???
-

-
- Ah, the great liberal media conspiracy. So buy a(nother) TV

- Ignorant as the think? As _to_ think. Ah. See my remark
