It's a hypothetical to me, because I don't do that.

Neither do most pro-life people. And I think the behavior of those who do is wrong and self-defeating (again, not an accident to join the two). I say as much whenever relevant.

What you're telling me is that you wouldn't do the kind of behavior in question, which means you must see something wrong in it, but you won't assert that as a positive duty on others. I'm not asking you to have sympathy for Sanders, Nielsen, et al. They are bad people doing bad things, and deserve to have their political lives made difficult. I'm asking you to assert the personal stand you've drawn for yourself as a political norm, because it will make our country better.
