- It was an example of how dark my humor can become after spending my
- weekend defending women's health clinics from zealots with posters
- depicting fetal remains in vivid color blown up to ridiculous size.
- These people will chase clients to the door, if given the chance,
- pushing such images into their faces in an attempt to
- `compassionately' persuade them to skip their appointments.

- Suzanne Forgach's petty screech was enough to inspire me to shoot
- right back with some of her own medicine.

- Nevertheless, you have overreacted. Abortion is not murder,
- regardless of your opinion. Furthermore, *NOBODY* waives his right to
- life by expressing an opinion. I shouldn't have to tell anyone this,
- but *you* SIR seem to have trouble understanding that exercising one's
- rights can not ever imply a `waiver' of one's other rights. Fact: one
- may not, through any kind of action or inaction, waive one's natural
- rights. They are, by definition, immutable.
