Just for the record, for those who think that those on the right go easy on those who hold somewhat sympathetic views, federal prosecutors are looking to throw the book at James Kopp. Kopp murdered abortionist Barnett Slepian.

Now, federal prosecutors in Buffalo are pressing their charges against Mr. Kopp, among them a charge that he violated a federal statute barring forceful interference with people who provide reproductive health services. If a death resulted from such interference, a conviction could lead to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The Bush administration is doing this because it's the right thing to do -- and this is something his GOP base would support. Despite the media's caricatures and liberals' beliefs about the "evil" of the Republican Party, we don't support the murder of abortionists.
