Blacks and whites are of course isolated from one another, even when bound by love and blood kinship. Sons and fathers cherish obscure bitternes, then meet after years of silence and fail to reconcile. Acts of love are intense but always precarious and often deadly...

When the line is crossed, however, between exercising a right to speak and directly inciting violence, peace trumps speech. The harsh rhetoric of the anti-choice movement should be censored, but not by the government. From within the ranks of the anti-choicers, the crisp, clear voice of calm-headed good sense must rise above the angry, rash jeers of hatred...
