Reply #10: And the end result?

Did you support the Operation Rescue decision I talked about earlier? Did you like being herded into a First Amendment Zone during the 2000 fiasco?

I think Novacks was morally wrong to do what he did. But to CRIMINALIZE that behavior would have highly detrimental aftereffects for EVERYBODY. Ask Will Pitt what would result if reporters/authors could be prosecuted for reporting unpopular facts, and were forced to give up their sources. I don't know what he'd say, but from my perspective, it would lead to an unwillingness of people to leak important information that people NEED to know (like the Pentagon Papers), and an unwillingness of reporters/publishers to publish potentially controversial material for fear of being imprisoned.
