"As in, abortion clinic protesters are getting a bad rap, being called terrorists?"
I wondered the same when I read it - that was my first reading of it. I'm not taking a position on it, only saying that it seems to be open to that interpretation.
See post #26
I think the pro-lifers (of which I am one) who think Miers is the way to go (I do not), are getting a rude awakening.
The ongoing debate continues surrounding the attempt to once again criminalize abortions or to once and for all guarantee the freedom of the individual women's right to decide for herself whether she will have an abortion.
there is little doubt about the gist of her thought. She thinks a woman has a right to choose, a right that can be guaranteed by law. If that is not what she means she is the worst writer I have seen in a long time from the legal profession. Either way, she doesn't need to be writing opinions on the Supreme Court.
"Abortion clinic protestors have become synonymous with terrorists and the courts have been the refuge for the besieged"
There is no ambiguity here at all. The courts have been hammering abortion protestors with outrageous judgments, killing the first amendment. Those inside the clinics are "the beseiged" protected by the courts. She is approving the stifling of dissent with bogus RICO judgments because abortion protestors are her enemies too.
