btw, Re: Wright claiming she was arrested just for praying near an abortion clinic: this perked my ears up so i decided to do some research into it. well it didn't take that much research because someone else had already compiled all the research into one handy dandy post:
A very interesting Richard Dawkins interview with a Christian right leader - JREF Forum
Cliffnotes: Her group (130 protesters) were arrested previously at the same clinic where Dr. George Tiller worked (controversial because a lot of late-term abortions were done there), and refused to pay a peace bond of $100,000 for damaging a ton of property, trespassing by climbing a wrought iron fence, knocking over an abortion rights rep, barracading the door, etc.
shortly thereafter, Dr Tiller is murdered. Shortly after THAT the judge imposes a restraining order on those from the previous protest to not do any demonstrations within 100 ft of the clinic. Shortly after THAT wright and 3 others are arrested within 100 ft of the clinic where they were ripping up the court injunction and praying (sounds innocent but you know their prayers prolly involved something along the lines of "forgive these sinning murderers, for they know not what they do").
they get sentenced to 6 months of prison and 500 dollar bond. it gets overruled by a federal judge
