it is not exactly news.

And it's going to remain "not news" till the good-hearted chumps that are the pro-life demonstrators take a page from the MLK playbook, making it a matter of massive non-violent civil disobedience. This "keep-of-the-grass" approach is just middle class feel-goodism. As a political tactic, it's BS. We won't get any respect till we become a pain in the rump. Right now all we have is their contempt.

1988 - in MLK's town - Atlanta. I heard Charles Stanley tell his church to have nothing to do with Operation Rescue, even has hundreds were doing non violent civil disobedience. I believe Falwell and/or Dobson said that they planned to be arrested. Didn't happen.

Maybe one Catholic Bishop and one Catholic priest did go to jail. But, mostly, the Christian "leaders" lost their nerve.

Then the 'borts played hardball - RICO staute invoked and folks got ruined. A shameful chapter, when courageous response from leaders just might have turned the tide.
