I just read the front page article in today's New York Times-
" Anti-Abortion Site On Web Has Ignited Free Speech Debate ". There
is no doubt in my mind that " The Nuremberg Files " creators are
more like the Nazis than the assorted medical doctors willing to
perform abortion for any woman freely seeking this still legal
service.
But I would not oppose their pathological Web site - with
its " hit lists ". There are now MILLIONS of Web sites . The
government should just forget about challenging the very existence
of ANY them .
The law should not deal with states of mind, just with
criminal deeds. Perhaps such an ugly site is a " healthy " outlet
for violent opinions that demand expression.
What Presidents of the United States have observed is true
for the rest of us : If someone is absolutely determined to kill
or harm us - and is also willing to take big personal risks doing
it - there is just not much we can do about it .
There has been very little psychoanalysis of anti-abortion
fanatics. Modern psychiatry - with its dumb enthusiasm for " miracle
drugs " - is ignoring the human soul.
A hint at the mind of an anti-abortion fanatic : a
man whom I know very well -who frequently ranted and raved about
the EVIL of abortion - suddenly cracked up one dreary January
day... he was found naked in his oldest brother's bedroom, curled
up IN THE FETAL POSITION ! His sixteen year old daughter was
pregnant . He is being " treated " with lithium, but the drug
does nothing to cure his very sick soul .
