From NARAL...Watch HBO's Documentary about Operation Rescue.
This is an Email from NARAL giving a heads up to watch HBO's documentary about Operation Resue...."Soldiers in the Army of G-D" it starts playing tomorrow. Watch for it...those people are truly NUTS!

"With the recent nomination of Judge John Roberts to the Supreme
Court, we in the pro-life movement now have an unprecedented
opportunity to finally restore moral sanity in America. How?
Through a 'peaceful coup' in the Supreme Court, which would lead
to the eventual overturn of Roe v. Wade."

- Operation Rescue

Why would the violent protestors known as Operation Rescue
support John Roberts to the Supreme Court?

Probably because John Roberts went out of his way to put our
government on the same side as Operation Rescue and other
anti-choice extremists, among them the notorious convicted
bomber of women's health clinics, Michael Bray.

In 1990, John Roberts, then Deputy Solicitor General for the
first President Bush, filed an amicus or "friend of the court"
brief in Bray v. Alexandria Women's Health Clinic on behalf of
the United States in support of convicted clinic bomber Michel
Bray, the notorious Operation Rescue, and five other individuals
who routinely used "military-style tactics" and other forms of
intimidation to block access to reproductive health care
clinics.

Now you can get an inside look at the type of people Roberts
actively defended by watching HBO's excellent documentary about
Bray and his organization "Soldiers in the Army of God: America
Undercover." Originally released in 2001, "Soldiers in the Army
of God" provides a horrifying inside look at the extremist
faction of the anti-choice movement that seeks to end abortion
through terrorism and murder.

Set your TiVo or VCR to catch the documentary tomorrow, August
5, at 5:30 am on HBO2 Eastern Time or 8:30 Pacific Time. It will
air again throughout August and September, please click here
(http://prochoiceaction.org/ct/y7A8_lS1PRyT/) for a complete
schedule.

argued in support of -

8. As a stem cell lobbyist I have had the misfortune of dealling them.
I have been called everything from an embryo farmer to a toddler killer. And to top it off one of the Priest of life told me that I deserved parkinson's because I want to murder kids. Really nice people huh?

6. Kick for the women
Is OR the group with the Web site where the bullseyes are underneath the contact info for women's clinics and doctors' home addresses? I once found on that site the med center where I was scheduled for an appointment to check out some female troubles.

Those are some scary Talibornagain sons of bitches.

7. But Judge Roberts looks so FRIENDLY! And it's not like Bush would
nominate extremist yahoos to fill important government positions, now, would he?



Anyway, our brave democratic leadership is fully prepared to roll over for the judge, and I'm SURE they know exactly what they're doing..

...don't they always?!?
