Supreme Court Rules For Abortion Protesters In Civil Disobedience Case (RICO)
Associated Press / SFGate ^

Posted on 02/26/2003 7:21:42 AM PST by RCW2001

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.

40,000,000 unwanted children (mainly because of financial reasons) would be a HUGE drain on our economy.

That's certainly the voice of caring and compassion speaking. "Children are expensive, therefore, let's kill them."

Really all that does is abort the future to artificially elevate your standard of living today. Because -- get this -- children grow up to become taxpayers. Even unwanted children grow up to become taxpayers.

They are a vital part of female empowerment and self-determination in this nation.

Busily making hundreds of millions of dollars off of girls coerced to abort by boyfriends and parents. Yep, sounds like "female empowerment and self-determination" to me. Not.

Wow......you've swallowed the whole LIE, haven't you? You sound like a PP brochure!

Empowerment?? LOL! What a joke that word is!

You want to be empowered?? Live a moral life, get a good education, work hard, respect others, and realize that you aren't the center of the universe......find out who you really are by reading the Word of God, and bow down to the ONE who created you, and formed you in your mother's womb.

Don't rely on the sexist lies.....yes sexist lies you've been fed from 'Planned death.' They don't want to empower you. They aren't even remotely interested in YOU, unrestricted. They want power for themselves, and revenge against the male population, whom they not incidentally happen to despise. It's people like the ones on this forum who care about people like you, and what you and your friends are going to be suffering in the future because of your 'unrestricted' lifestyles, that might just end in the death of an innocent child.

Get some therapy, child. Learn to truly value yourself in relationship to the God who loves you. Find some REAL friends. You've been brainwashed BIG TIME by the left.

That's Bull Crap! Most of those babies are wanted immediately after the abortion, 1 year after, 5 years after, etc. 10 years after when she is trying to conceive with the love of her life and is unable to do so, feeling like she is being punished because she killed the only child God was going to let her have.

ALL of those babies are wanted by a couple who will never, ever be able to have children.

We're killing ourselves off! That doesn't bother you? We're messing with our gene pool.

Welcome to Free Republic, BTW.

Kind of like an internal organ

Kinda doesn't cut it. Either you were an organ or you weren't before you were born. So what kind of organ were you?

I have a dear friend who 'made a mistake'....that is sinned....became pregnant, and was convinced by a doctor that it was just 'tissue,' so had an abortion.

That was 25 years ago. She has not yet recovered from the guilt and emotional trauma of knowing that she MURDERED HER OWN BABY!!

Don't swallow the LIES they're feeding you, unrestricted. DON'T!

I believe FACE (Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances) is still in effect...

Yeppers, and the hypocrisy of it lives. Why can't we have, say, a Freedom to Access K-Mart Entrances (FAKE) act? But at least protests can't be halted on the grounds they are intended to cause the clinics to shut down.

So exactly right! Given the sign-up date, I figure this guy is a troll, but on the off chance he actually believes this mess, you told him what he needs to hear. (Of course, if he really believes it, he won't listen--at least not until he grows up.)

He/she won't understand until his/her spiritual eyes are opened.

It may not be any time soon, but the seeds have been planted by many on this thread.....and we can pray they'll take root.

Brainwashed. Sick.

Babies......real, human babies are dying, mutilated because of the specious lies you have absorbed.

IF you understood ANYTHING about women, and real women's rights, you would find abortion as abhorrent as we do, because WOMEN are being murdered.

But you don't get it, because you have no self worth, no understanding of life, or it's meaning, and place no real value on women, their bodies, or their souls.

You are a victim of a cruel hoax.......or you are blinded by your own sin. Either way, you need the prayers of the people who have been patiently discussing this issue with you, in spite of your blind, stubborn, and completely erroneous view of life.

btw......answer my questions.

Is a small human being LESS human than a large one?
Is a young human being LESS human than an old one?
Is a human being in one location LESS a human being than one in another?
Is a human being who is less capable LESS a human than one who is more capable?
Are humans who cannot survive on their own, not worthy of living, in your view?

If you answer NO to any of the those questions, you destroy your own pseudo-argument about women's rights and choice.

Be honest, if you are able.
