I'm sure that the trip would be more fruitful for them than reciting passages in a language that they barely understand. I'm prejudiced, since I refused to be Bar Mitzvahed myself. I suspect that my father was secretly relieved by my decision.

I'm speaking of the United States, and there may be more violent crazies on the left in Zugostan. However, in the U.S., Europe and Latin America (post the guerrillas of the 60's and 70's), the left or progressives seem much less likely to use violence to s. wallersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448905469871566228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-31797504790182234482009-06-02T11:42:56.503-05:002009-06-02T11:42:56.503-05:00I'm not sure that in countries where abortion is i...I'm not sure that in countries where abortion is illegal, you can really shoot your way to legalization. On the other hand, shooting abortion providers is a very effective way of making abortion at least unavailable. There are very few ob-gyns's who want to put themselves in the line of fire. So I don't know that the violence being on one side really says anything about attitudes, as much as itJean Kazezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592593002719828153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-82149644649845261322009-06-01T16:44:42.619-05:002009-06-01T16:44:42.619-05:00Sorry about Dr. Tiller.

I've never heard of a pro-choice activist gunning down anyone. The pro-choice position seems to attract another type of human being, a fact that those who defend the anti-choice position as almost an intellectual exercise should reflect about, since they are <br />providing s. wallersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448905469871566228noreply@blogger.com
