-
- Don't assume the abortions were legal. Here in Columbia almost every
- abortionist has done 2nd trimester abortions in his clinic, and some
- even admit it openly, even though South Carolina law says all 2nd
- trimester abortions must be done either in a hospital or a licensed
- clinic, and not one of the clinics in South Carolina is licensed.
-
- As to why the pro-lifers were picketing, I don't know, but judging
- from the pro-lifers I know, they were probably protesting both acts.
- Certainly if they knew about all his sleazy porn business, they would
- have been protesting both.

-
- The bombers have been denounced. As to Operation Rescue, there are
- mixed feelings. Some regard it as simply the analogue of the Civil Rights
- marches and sit-ins, many of which violated laws on the books.
- Others do denounce it. As for myself, never having seen a "Rescue" first
- hand, I'm suspending judgment.
