you are correct. However, the "pro-life" hypocrits" have been stalking women going into clinics and making public their info for a very long time. Getting license plates and showing up at your house. Taking out ads in local papers and publishing your name and address , harassing you relentlessly, etc. So I have no problem with this. Clearly there seems to be some on this thread that think abortions, no matter who is involved, is kept strictly private. Yes, that's the idea, but it's not been the reality for MANY women for years and years now. And personally, I will not be bullied into submission by the likes of the "do as I say not as I do" crowd. So yes, outing the likes of Boebart is perfectly acceptable That said, I would have been perfectly fine keeping it all "private" and I would have defended Boebart or anyone else. But, they (the do as I say not as I do crowd) set the rules of the game. Don't get all butt hurt when I play by them.
