The very definition of the word "coward".
No, not at all. I was there that day in front of the hospital. Jeb Bush got NO public support and there were more press than people at the vigil. It was humiliating. If you live here, you should have been there, but I bet you weren’t.
Bush was undermined time and again by Jim King, from Jacksonville, the pro-death GOP leader of the FL State Senate.
The very last day, Bush was in discussions with the State Police, because the local Tampa St Pete area sheriff’s department and the local police were prepared to shoot if anyone tried to enter the hospital to rescue her. He decided that going in with the state police would not only result in other deaths and injuries, but would cause a constitutional crisis in the state of Florida (because he had exhausted all the legal remedies).
So before you call people “cowards,” examine yourself. How many times have you been arrested or spat upon and kicked at pro-life vigils? I have, and almost everybody in that little band (of Catholics and Evangelicals) out there with me in front of the hospital had had that same experience. But the worst thing of all was ridicule, and the fact that there were so few of us made us completely powerless and ridiculous. Where were you, and where were all the other scornful, venom-spewing Freepers, many of them in Florida, that day?
