[history]
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a federal racketeering law was improperly used to punish aggressive anti-abortion protesters, a major victory for people who regularly block clinic doors.
The court's 8-0 ruling applies to protests of all sorts, not just at clinics.

Well, I also am willing to make an exception in the case of rape as well, does that make ME pro-abortion?
In the case of that abortion in Nicaragua, there is also a compelling case to be made that the life of the mother is also at stake (I do not think a nine-year old can SURVIVE a pregnancy, albeit I am not a doctor).

I am glad you are doing something.
Careful with your "probably more than you have."
Among many other things, I founded a statewide network of churches that support women before and after birth, and after abortion - this network has helped scores of women within its first 4 years of being started and has drawn hundreds of everyday people into the pro-life movement.
I do it all. I compassionately assist moms and babies, I boldly protest, I hopefully but sorrowfully pray, I loudly inform, I quietly persuade, and when neessary I agitate for change.
What I do NOT do is tell others that one form or another of non-violent pro-life action is bad.

Help comes in the form of Gabriel Angels who supports the expectant mother in variety ways by: praying, knitting garments, supplying rides, taking women to their doctor's appointments, providing friendship and encouragement, helping with language problems and referrals to community/government resources. Mothers voluntarily requesting a Gabriel Angel are referred from local Christian crisis pregnancy programs, birth line programs, and maternity homes; community/governmental agencies and The Gabriel Projects hotlines in English (877-734-2444) and Spanish (800-7200-4570). BECOME A GABRIEL ANGEL As a Gabriel Angel you will bring hope, comfort, and friendship to a woman in your community during her pregnancy. Your support witnesses to the value of both the unborn child.

Great! Thanks for the heads up!
To: Poohbah
We'll continue to die the death of a thousand cuts. Maybe, or maybe this will encourage other, less abrasive pro-life people to publicly take up the cause. Remember, the media will always find the most outrageous representative they can in order to define any movement they disagree with. If Scheidler went away today they would be happy to dig up someone just like him and parade him or her around as the face of the pro-life or anti-choice movement. Remember how they tried to frame all pro lifers as giving tacit if not outright approval to the shooting of abortion Doctors?
Bottom line is that this was a misapplication of the RICO and Hobbs acts and was rightly overturned.

Calling abortion mills "health clinics" is like calling Nazi concentration camps "health camps" Or like calling planned infanticide "Planned Parenthood."
To: RCW2001
God has blessed us with a logical ruling from the Supreme Court concerning abortion (at least concerning abortion on the surface - in reality, this is Free Speech!)
It's a miracle, as far as I'm concerned.

National Organization of Women to Hold Press Conference Regarding Supreme Court Ruling in NOW v. Scheidler
NOW will hold a press conference in the East Room of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. at 3 p.m. in response to today's NOW v. Scheidler Supreme Court ruling. (2/26/03)
What will NOW say? Any predictions?
To: conservonator
Maybe, or maybe this will encourage other, less abrasive pro-life people to publicly take up the cause.Gresham's Law is illustrated here: The bad drives out the good. I know people who left the pro-life movement completely because of a$$holes like Scheidler. The hardcore maniacs basically out-obnoxious everyone in their way and get into the power spots.
Remember how they tried to frame all pro lifers as giving tacit if not outright approval to the shooting of abortion Doctors?
And some of Scheidler's folks were the ones they used for the effort.

You've almost got that prozac dose right, since you've stopped calling me Satan.I believe you were called "satin" by one of these individuals, in which case, it's all a big misunderstanding. Satin is actually kind of nice, in certain contexts. It was probably a compliment.

I activated my sleeper account at 'the other place' just to help share the good news with its denizens.
I now await 'the other place's' equivalent of ZOT.

Has anyone seen anything on Fox News about this decision?
I haven't, and this leaves me extremely disappointed in Fox. They're wasting endless time on the Blake Murder Trial and no mention of this significant development in the stopping of the murder of the unborn.
