Frankly, I don't care if a pro-abort is disinvited by pulling them off the stage after they've begun their spiel. If David Duke were invited to a Catholic forum to speak, would you be concerned if he were "disinvited" 5 minutes before he was supposed to speak rather than 5 days beforehand?

If the "disinvitors" knew that Duke was going to speak a week before, I'd consider it a stunt by the disinvitors.

I don't like hot-doggin', whether done by ball players or Catholic bishops.

They're advocating murder in a church. Dragging them off by the hair seems most appropriate. Or maybe a bullwhip...
