Political Quotes

“as I was saying a minute ago, violence of any sort is and should be condemned, but I think we are making a grave mistake if we take one form of violence and attempt to exalt it over other forms. We need to deal with all forms of violence. I am certainly sympathetic to the issues concerning the health clinics and the violence and the threats of violence that have taken place. I would submit in States, and particularly my own State, the threats are being dealt with effectively and in a manner that does not polarize the issue, and it involves those who support pro-choice as well as those who are pro-life. The language we are offering seeks to include violence that might involve schools, religious institutions, medical and health facilities, but also housing complexes, shelters, particularly shelters that might house abused women or any other facilities or surroundings where a threat to law and order exists. And so we have designed language that is deliberately broad and encompassing to any threat to law and order or the constitutional rights of men and women in this country.”
