LB, Some of the protesters have broken the law in their attempt to bring attention to themselves. In one case, a mysterious back pack was seen outside of the court house. The police destroyed it, but nothing has been said about the contents. Some have refused to stay behind the barriers put up by the police to maintain order, and in another case, a 9 year old boy was brought to Tallahassee from North Carolina, and was persuaded to try and take glass of water into the hospital. Whether the intentions were sincere, or not, they have not helped their cause by breaking the law, and disobeying the police.
I don't think that the conflict is between liberal Democrats, and conservative Republicans as much as it is a difference in opinion of what is life, and what is mere existence. I doubt that the Pope really said anything about it because of his waning condition, but that the statement was written, and delivered, by the Cardinal in waiting, and is just another instance of the hierarchy of the Catholic denomination taking precedent over God. |
