It's only 140 characters, for Christ sakes. Some of us are bandwidth limited and clicking through is costly.
Nevermind! Here is Frum's Tweet which you should have copied into your OP:
How can anyone hail it as a moral triumph to browbeat a 13 year old girl into bearing her rapist's child?
Thankfully I am at the beginning of the the month and I can afford to click through.

It's fucking only 140 characters. But going off site and reloading Web caches can be many thousands of bytes. So many people do not understand how a Web browser works or that there are actually people who do not live in areas where unlimited bandwidth is available. Without my 3Gbyte per month iPhone, I would have nothing but dialup, and I do not have a land line.
