That takes the fun out of everything. lol.


Okay, I'd have see the protests to see what happened. It does sound like a lot of them might have went where they knew they weren't supposed to go in order to get arrested. I used to be an activist, so I know the tricks about that stuff. The trick is to go where you shouldn't go, get arrested, and then get sympathy for your cause. I won't personally condemn that since it's not violent.

However, I also remember back in my activist days when some of the more extreme people would purposely piss off the cops to try to get them to lash out at everybody. Then, they could cry victimhood when they got arrested. I doubt that was all 800 of them. I'd like to know for certain it was actually 800 people who got arrested. That sounds high. If they did get arrested, then I doubt most of them will stay in jail. Raleigh can't hold them.

Now, about these rules. Wasn't the purpose of RvW to make abortion safer for women? Shouldn't clinics be held up to the same standards as other surgery centers? What would be the problem with a doctor being there the entire time of the abortion? I think a lot of these clinics that shut down might very well open back up when they get all the standards up to date.
