But I understand that it is the evil Evangelicals and or Catholics that beat up old women and smash their signs when a vote doesn't go their way.
Or was that the secular homofascists?
As my post clearly noted that it was NOT the evangelicals that were the problem, I’m not sure how you came to the conclusion that I was blaming them.
I’ll use an analogy. There were many people in our party who opposed illegal immigration. However, as part of that fight, we were joined by groups that opposed not only illegal immigration, but ALL immigration. And we were joined by people who simply hated the idea of people speaking spanish being in their community, and some who were bigots or xenophobes.
This allowed the pro-amnesty folks to falsely label us all as hate-mongers. It’s not the truth, but it a fact of life that this is what happened.
And in reality, we need to overcome that false attack. We need to take special care to distinguish our position from that of the haters and fringe extremists.
In the same way, those of us in the pro-life movement have to take care to separate ourselves from those who bomb clinics and target doctors. Not because we SHOULD have to, but because we have to overcome the false attacks.
Anybody who has hung out on FR has seen how a few posters can make the whole site look bigoted, racist, or antagonistic to certain religions.
It’s just a fact of life.
