- speculation, but I did not disguise it as a fact.

- Not speculation. Based on a great deal of experience, although I
- should have worded the above differently: all the pro-lifers I know,
- had they known about all the sleazy porn business, would have been
- protesting both. And I know over a hundred pro-lifers from all
- across the country.
-
- I've seen real speculation from the pro-choice side. People
- calling me a misogynist, a liar, a man associating with terrorists,
- an unprincipled man, a man lacking integrity--that's real speculation.
- None of it backed up by a shred of evidence, nor with valid comparisons to
- people who do fit the above descriptions.
