You can do both. I do not believe that killing a fetus is the right thing, FOR ME. However, I will defend to my best ability, your right to choose whether it is right for you or not. When you are able to set aside your personal moral obligations and think about the people around you and their rights as human beings, you can start to gain some perspective and hopefully a willingness to side with the people who believe that the government has no right to tell you, me or anyone what to do with our bodies.

You want to? Damn, that's amazing. You must be desperate.

I am by no means apologizing for their actions. They were out of line in the way the situation was handled. I do however, believe that by following a government official in an unmarked vehicle for long distances, in THIS CLIMATE of fear, you are begging to have something happen to you. I would be on her side a great deal more had they done what they did in a much smarter way. Additionally, having had many broken bones, dislocated joints, cracked bones, muscle pulls etc, I can't really believe that her "long lasting" injuries are more than attention grabbing.

police orders trump any "personal arrest" or "citizen's arrest"

Yeah I read that story. I moved to Baltimore and my daughter lives in PG county. I can't get on board with McCarren on this one. If you are following a government official in an unmarked vehicle, noticeably, there is going to be a very negative police response. This is pretty much everywhere. As for her overly extreme recuperation time and rehabilitation, I cant get on that one either. Both of my shoulders have been dislocated numerous times and never has it taken months to heal up.

incorrect, in most states, when you are arrested, you automatically lose the privacy rights. Hell, in many states, they will print your photo with the date you were arrested and the crime as well as location in the paper, online and elsewhere. See: Chattanooga News Free Press.

Yeah... it could be something to do with heightened awareness from the caffeine or something to that tune. I have no idea, but I wonder if they take into account the people that drank regular coffee for long periods of time and have only been on decaf for a short period.

Caffeine is a diuretic, thus, tea with caffeine would also work.

*bowel..... spellcheck sucks.

There was an interesting article a year or so ago that showed a correlation between coffee drinking and bowl movements vs water drinking. I will try to find it for citation, but the gist of it was: Due to the diuretic properties of coffee, the coffee drinkers had more regular bowl movements than those who drank water which meant that toxins spent less time in the intestines thus creating a lower likelihood of some intestinal diseases.
