- Obviously you didn't read the article, since it mentioned
- Operation Rescue 12 times.
-
- You are right that the article mentions Operation rescue. But the
- main point of the article has nothing to do with O.R., but how the
- media portrays anti-choice people. Operation Rescue is simply an
- example of what the article implies is a trend or conspiracy towards
- this poor mistreated and misrepresented movement.
-
- I'll ask you again: do you think every anti-choice person is a member
- of operation rescue?

-
- I'm not surprised that you're unsure of the article's
- contents--many people can't bring themselves to read
- material which might conflict with their preconceived
- notions about the world.
-
- It is true that I do not perceive anti-choice people as being
- misrepresented or maligned by the media. I also don't feel sorry for
- them.
